The purpose of this work is to examine the relationship between economic development and the population's level of health. Consequently, we will establish a comparison between Mexico and other countries in various stages of development. The interrelationship between economic development and health is a complex problem which is little understood, even though it is acknowledged that at increased levels of economic development the levels of health of a population will also increase. These considerations can be taken into account when we accept the fact that the health conditions in industrialized countries are generally better than the health conditions in non-industrialized countries. In the case of Mexico, the problems relating to social disparities due to the type of economic development are reflected in the country's level of health. Poor health conditions and the deterioration of health services in Mexico, based on international references, are matters that must be resolved by means of a clear political decision accompanied by the appropriate corresponding resources so that the strategies put forth by the National Health Program (1989-1994) can be carried out.
这项工作的目的是研究经济发展与民众健康水平之间的关系。因此，我们将对处于不同发展阶段的墨西哥和其他国家进行比较。经济发展与健康之间的相互关系是一个复杂的问题，尽管人们承认随着经济发展水平的提高，民众的健康水平也会提高，但对此问题仍知之甚少。当我们接受工业化国家的健康状况总体上优于非工业化国家这一事实时，可以考虑到这些因素。就墨西哥而言，由于经济发展类型导致的社会差距问题反映在该国的健康水平上。根据国际参考标准，墨西哥糟糕的健康状况和卫生服务的恶化是必须通过明确的政治决策并配以适当的相应资源来解决的问题，以便能够实施国家卫生计划（1989 - 1994年）提出的战略。
