  4. HEALTH POLICY AND FEDERALISM THE MEXICAN EXPERIENCE • Reform of the social security through pension reform to generate internal savings in the long run. • Financial restructuring to avoid bankruptcy of the social security system, including its health component. • Health reform formulation, legislation, and implementation is led by structural adjustment policies, through technocrats empowered to bring about policy change. • Efforts at reforming the IMSS health care provision have included decentralization and financial deconcentration to the local level. • Efforts to establish separation of the financing and provision functions. INSTITUTO NACIONAL DE SALUD PUBLICA, MEXICO

  5. HEALTH POLICY AND FEDERALISM THE MEXICAN EXPERIENCE • Deconcentration to shift power from the central offices to peripheral offices • Delegation • Devolution shifts responsibility and authority from the central offices of the Ministry of Health to separate administrative structures still within the public administration • Privatization.
