Private healthcare facilities in Mexico recorded nearly three million hospital discharges last year, with inpatient treatments accounting for the overwhelming majority of cases. This data underscores the substantial volume of hospital-based care delivered by the private sector, highlighting its role in shaping national morbidity and mortality statistics. The main drivers of hospital admissions were obstetric care, digestive diseases, and external trauma. Additionally, a significant share of cases were related to COVID-19, including confirmed, suspected, and multisystem inflammatory syndrome cases, reflecting the pandemic’s lingering impact on healthcare utilization and resource allocation. The high volume of outpatient consultations and surgical procedures, including a notable rate of cesarean sections, indicates diverse service demands concentrated in specific regions. This information is crucial for open data initiatives, as it provides transparent insights into healthcare accessibility, regional disparities, and the operational burden on private medical infrastructure, thereby enabling more effective policy analysis and resource planning.
