Abstract:
Mexican postrevolutionary health policy has been oriented by changing views on the process of development and of the role that State should play towards the health of specific groups. The article reconstructs how deep-seated health policy values were originated and legitimated. The gestation process is followed through the contest between specific groups and interest in key conjunctures of mexican history. The article proposes that for 1940 three linkage principles between policy makers and beneficiaries had been fully legitimated: the technical, the geopolitical and the corporativist.
