Private sector set to soar in Mexico

Private operators and their backers are racing to build large chains of outpatient clinics across Mexico. They hope that the right-wing government will allow new much longer term public-private partnerships. Meanwhile, the bodies which make up the Mexican NHS and the payor for services for the poor are in their worst financial situation in history. The minister of health has suggested that they may need to be merged to create a new universal health insurance plan.

Interview: Javier Okhuysen, Co-CEO and founder salaUno, Mexico

SalaUno is looking to revolutionise ophthalmology provision in Mexico City with some lessons from India. Okhuysen claims that cataract surgery costs just $390, around a fifth of the cost in the UK. The sector attracts little government support, forcing consumers to turn to traditional high cost providers. We talk to Okhuysen about the new business model.

As is the case across the world when it comes government focus, ophthalmology is the ugly cousin of rising lifestyle diseases such as hypertension, obesity, diabetes and cancer.
