Mexico’s private and public healthcare programs are mostly accessible to citizens and residents from the urban areas while the country’s greater population in rural areas have limited or nonexistent access to healthcare (Lovett-Scott & Prather, 2018). In this paper, we will be analyzing Mexico’s healthcare system. Impact on Vulnerable Population Many of the Mexican population that are is over 60 years old live mostly in the urban areas and generally have poor education. The main cause of morbidity of this population is usually respiratory infection, peptic disease, hypertension and diabetes. The principle causes of death are diabetes, cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases. In Mexico, health service providers are divided into three main categories which include social security institutions, public services and the private sector providers. National Institute of Aging was established in Mexico to focus on the elderly heath care system. However, the country lacks strong health institution systems that have the capabilities to adequately respond to the changing social and healthcare demands from the elderly population (Radcliffe, 2017). Women’s Health and Maternal Child Health Maternal health is a development and inequality indicator of a nation and according to the World Health Organization data, over 300,000 women in 2015 died due to complications during pregnancy and childbirth. In Mexico, numerous programs and plans have been implemented to reduce maternal mortality and increase quality of maternal child health. Twenty percent of child Concept Paper – Mexico 3 birth in Mexico annually are a result of teenage pregnancy. Mexico government together with NGO’s have come up with healthcare measures to tackle maternal mortality which is attributed to infrastructural issues and generational sexual abuse. Even though Mexico has made impressive progress concerning mothers and baby’s health, but it still lags in virtually all European countries (Himmelfarb Health Sciences Library, 2018). Disease Management of Communicable and Non-Communicable Diseases The largest contributors that account to the problem of diseases in Mexico are the noncommunicable disease with diabetes being the largest contributor. Mexico has made major strides in reducing illness and death associated with malnourishment and infectious diseases, but the country has experienced an epidemiologic change in disease problems towards the NCD’s which could be a major concern. To handle the growing concern of the NCD’s, the government of Mexico established the Seguro Popular health insurance system together with Units Specialized in the Treatment of Chronic Diseases Program to aid in the reduction of NCD’s. However, these Mexican interventions have proven to have limited reach into the rural population. The Theory and Practice of Health Promotion There is a profound health reform going on in Mexico which includes advancing health insurance to the entire populations and also transforming the delivery of health care amenities. Legislations were passed in Mexico which mandated funding and infrastructure that was meant to ensure that 52% of Mexicans accessed medical care at no cost by 2010. Mexico made use of health promotion model since it has the potential of averting long-lasting illnesses and injuries and their related expenses and it has been proven to be a key component in health care reforms. Health Promotion Operational Model incorporates health promotion actions that are contained in the Concept Paper – Mexico 4 health care structures. The implementation plan of the health care model was in place in all the 32 Mexican states by the end of 2008 (Evans, 2017). Behavioral and Lifestyle Factors that Affect Health and Illness The behavioral and lifestyle factors that affect health and cause illness to the Mexican population can be attributed to their socioeconomic status, insufficient accessibility to healthcare and limited screening rates, higher occupational hazards and exposure to multiple lifestyle factors. Social and economic factors are major determinants of health which means that high poverty rates, less education and limited access to healthcare in Mexico has greatly influenced behaviors and lifestyle factors that has affected the health conditions in the country. High poverty levels have led to an increase of health-related behaviors such as smoking, being overweight and being physically inactive which affects their health by causing lifestyle illnesses (OECD, 2017).

Mexico’s private and public healthcare programs are mostly accessible to citizens and residents from the urban areas while the country’s greater population in rural areas have limited or nonexistent access to healthcare (Lovett-Scott & Prather, 2018). In this paper, we will be analyzing Mexico’s healthcare system. Over 10 million of the Mexican population is over 60 years old and members of this age group are predominantly in the urban areas and generally have low levels of education. According to the official registers, the main cause of morbidity of this population is usually respiratory infection, peptic disease, hypertension and diabetes. The principle causes of death are diabetes, cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases.

The Five Elements of a Concept Paper 1. The first section, the Introduction, identifies how and where the applicant’s mission and the funder’s mission intersect or align. It addresses the reasons why the funder should support projects in the given general area. It also introduces the applicant’s partners and shows why the partners want to participate in the project. 2. Second is the Purpose or Need or Rationale, which outlines what others have written about the general topic and focuses on the gap in knowledge to be filled, the problem to be solved, or the need to be addressed by the applicant’s proposed project. Similar to a literature review, this section allows the applicant to state the purpose or need in such a way that the applicant’s project is the best possible solution to the problem. Also, it often provides statements addressing the significance of the project (showing why the project should be supported). In some cases, these first two sections are merged into a Background section that both introduces the alignment between the two organizations’ missions and provides the need statement. 3. Third is the Project Description, functioning as the solution to the problem, the answer to the need, or the investigation that will fill the knowledge gap. In this section, the applicant addresses the unique, unusual, distinctive, innovative, and/or novel aspects of the approach, showing why the applicant’s team has the best solution and presenting a compelling case for funding. The project description includes the project’s Goals and Objectives. A goal is an abstract state of being, a condition, an end, or an aspiration while objectives are statements of 1750 H Street NW, 2nd Floor, Washington, DC 20006 P 202.756.2971 F 866.808.6585 www.hanovergrants.com Hanover Grants © 2012 Hanover Grants | www.hanovergrants.com 2 measurable outcomes that, collectively, will help the applicant measure progress toward accomplishing the project goal(s). For example, a goal might be to improve student academic performance via a structured professional development program for teachers, while an objective might be to offer a specific kind of workshop or seminar on a particular topic for a defined set of teachers in a K-12 school district. The project description also includes an overview of the project’s Methodology (sometimes called Project Activities or Action Plan or Approach). The goals, objectives, and methods (or activities) will need to align closely with each other and will need to be accomplished within the proposed Timeline, expressed in either months or years. The methods or activities will need to be congruent with or based on what has been tried in the field in the past, they must be based on empirical evidence, and they will need to be both reasonable in cost and complexity and accomplishable within the proposed timeline. The project description typically concludes with a statement of Benefits (or Anticipated Outcomes) along with a description of who will benefit and how. 4. The fourth section, Support or Budget, contains either (1) an outline of the main budget categories for the requested project support or (2) a single bottom-line amount of the request and a brief discussion of how that amount will be used. Some concept papers may not even include an amount requested. 5. The fifth and final section provides the Contact Information of the applicant organization’s chief executive or his/her designee authorized to make funding requests.
