The fourth transformation in Mexico, a baseline to its evaluation in health issues

Since December 1st 2018, the new government in Mexico has set itself the goal of achieving a historic transformation, called the “Fourth Transformation”; the three previous transformations were: a) The Mexican Independence of the Spanish crown (1810 to 1821); b) the Reformation movement, where the separation of church and state was emphasized (1858 to 1861); and c) the Mexican Revolution, armed conflict that ended with the promulgation of the Political Constitution that currently governs the country (1910 and 1917).1‒4 In general terms the “Fourth Transformation” refers to the presidential vision of his future government that includes eliminating the privileges of the high bureaucracy, implementing an austerity plan and fighting corruption to achieve a deep change to improve living conditions of the country, being the health of Mexicans one of the main axes of this transformation.
