Mexico City. The Confederation of Employers of the Mexican Republic in Mexico City (CDMX) shares the decision made on July 11 by the National Advisory Committee for the Standardization of Public Health (CCNNSP), by postponing the repeal of 34 official health standards until the first week of September. To open a period of analysis and reflection from the generation of forums with experts in this field, because we have a clear conviction that the arguments that will be presented there will avoid their dissolution.
Among the 34 standards, the most significant of their impact on the health of Mexicans are NOM-015-SSA2-2010 for the prevention, treatment and control of diabetes mellitus; NOM-030-SSA2-2009, for the prevention, detection, diagnosis, treatment, and control of systemic arterial hypertension; NOM-014-SSA2-1994 for prevention, detection, diagnosis, treatment, control, and epidemiological surveillance of cervical cancer; and NOM-041-SSA2-2011, for Prevention, Diagnosis, Treatment, Control and Epidemiological Surveillance of Breast Cancer, business organization indicated.
For members of this employers’ association, “This is not the time or any other time to withdraw these regulations that allow us to ensure and monitor regulatory quality standards that provide legal certainty to patients, while protecting residents and users of these services and products.”
She added, “The abolition of these rules will deprive the general population of the possibility of exercising their constitutional right to obtain quality medical care in the case of patients classified within the aforementioned criteria, who will be left defenseless to demand that the health authority fulfill its obligations, with the risk of a health disaster.”
He noted that after the forums to be opened by the National Advisory Committee on Public Health Standardization (CCNNSP), “we hope that the current regulations will be updated and avoided being abolished.”
