Abstract:
Public health research and education in Mexico require further decentralization to improve its availability, quality and relevance for the development of local health systems. This article presents the experience of the Northern Regional Center for Health Systems Development (Nuredess-Norte), a consortium for the decentralization and regionalization of public health research and education of El Colegio de la Frontera Norte and the National Institute of Public Health. Nuredess-Norte initiated its activities in 1990 establishing a binational network of health systems consultants along the border, following a common methodology to improve health system quality through research. Later a Health Systems Development Teaching Program was established at the level of specialization with a high degree of decentralization and linkage with local health systems. Nuredess-Norte undertakes research, design and evaluation of innovations along the US-Mexico border. Emphasis is given to community participation and the development of primary health care.
