[Gynecology and obstetrics and the health system reform in Mexico]

Mexican Health System Reformation in Gynecology and Obstetrics is analyzed. The last 35 years, the specialty of Gynecology and Obstetrics has had dramatic advances which have forced the obstetrician/gynecologist to demand continuing medical education on doctrinaire aspects, skills development, epidemiology and sociology, as well as technological advances. In Mexico, social-medical field decrees a reproductive health program which points: priority to women's health, promotion in preventive actions, to consider economic facts and to integrate national programs. Finally, there is a reflection on the importance of having certified obstetrician/gynecologist.
