[Regionalization of Mexico based on primary health care indicators proposed by the WHO]

In order to carry out this work, the following questions were made: how has the development of the coverage of Primary Health Care (PHC) for each entity of the Mexican Republic been? has it been homogeneous? If heterogeneous, which states show similar development? and, which are the indicators of PHC that account for these differences? A statistical multimodal analysis known as Cluster analysis, based upon the PHC indicators recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 1985, was carried out in order to answer the questions above made. One of the main results of this work was to identify clearly that there are important inequities among the different federal agencies regarding coverage. These differences indicate that the coverage of PHC in México has been polarized.
