Mexico is one of those countries which has in many ways made great progress but without grabbing the headlines.

General healthcare in Mexico

Social security healthcare in Mexico

Of the sum, diagnostic and pathology services would account for USD 2.5 billion in 2012, more than double its estimated current size of USD1 billion. The growth in the segment is expected to be driven by the consolidation in the industry and increasing insurance penetration among the country’s population. Healthcare facilities, inclusive of public and private hospitals, the core sector, around which the healthcare sector is centered, would continue to contribute over 70% of the total sector and touch a figure of USD 54.7 billion by 2012 The diagnostics and pathology testing market in India represents one of the most lucrative markets in the world.
