What the Data Shows
INEGI estimated that 44.5 million people in Mexico lacked access to health services in 2024. The count is part of the country’s multidimensional-poverty measurement. The official release describes the result as roughly one in three residents. The measure concerns access deprivation, not the quality or use of health care.
