If you are a Mexican doing business, it’s more likely that you heard about Pablo Escandon Cusi. Cusi is now 75 years old, but he has done so much in his life that age defies him. Today he is the chairman for Controladora de Farmacias SA de CV. At the same time, he is also the chairman and the general manager at NADRO SA de CV. Cusi is a member of El Consejo Mexicano de Hombres de Negocios AC. He is also a member of the board of six other companies. He was chairman at at G. Acción SA de CV in the past. Cusi received an undergraduate degree from Georgetown University. He also received an MBA from the Instituto Panamericano de Alta Dirección de Empresa.
In a rare interview regarding the Mexican health care sector, Cusi has laid down the best cards. When Cusi was asked about the major issues in the health care sector of Mexico and what solutions are being offered, he answered that the population of Mexico is getting older despite the country’s youth. Demand for medical services has increased originating from its 125 inhabitants. This shows the shortage in the supply of services. Fifty-five million Mexicans are under the general insurance programme, being part of the federal health structure; but there is still a highly observable gap in the capacity to provide services.
Another issue asked is about the role the private sector has and how can the private sector be motivated to aid the private sector. According to Pablo Escandon Cusi, there is a general agreement in the government that private sector’s help is needed to develop the capacity of Mexico’s capacity to provide service. It is necessary to have a well-designed and properly planned public-private partnership or collaboration strategy. The authorities will be able to strategically plan when and where they would need to work in partnership with the private sector. This does not only include construction of facilities or providing equipment; the partnership also extends to the delivery of primary care services. All these follow the model known as integrated services. Such projects have not generated enough interest from the private sector. The private sector has to be incentivized more.
On the issue of developing preventive medicine, Cusi stated that diabetes has always been on the rise. In 2017, about 11 percent of the population had been identified as diabetic and a larger percentage are not diagnosed.
