| Resumen: |
Currently, the Mexican Health Sector is implementing public policies that tackle the social determinants of health (SDH), mainly to reduce health inequities. However, only a few of these policies involve other sectors.
Traditionally, the health sector has taken care of health, despite the fact that the burden of disease is mostly related to the conditions in which many people are born, grow, live, work and age. These social determinants, however, go beyond the realm of the health sector. The participation of other public administration sectors is therefore needed to effectively address SDH such as income, housing, drinking water and education, among others.
