ABSTRACT

Resumen A lo largo de su historia, México ha sido afectado por diversas epidemias, así como pandemias, y el sistema de salud de cada época ha tenido que desarrollar, adoptar y perpetuar múltiples acciones y medidas de seguridad sanitarias, entre las que destacan las siguientes: vacunación, higiene personal, sana alimentación, cloración del agua, suspensión de actividades, desinfección de lugares públicos y casas, cuarentena, confinamiento o aislamiento, uso de cubrebocas, evitar lugares concurridos, prohibición de reuniones colectivas, por mencionar las más relevantes. Todo lo anterior se ha implementado con la intención de mitigar y erradicar su propagación; así como disminuir su morbilidad y mortalidad. La pandemia por COVID-19, al igual que todas las epidemias y pandemias que se han presentado en México, ha trastocado diversos aspectos como el económico, social, político y sanitario. En cada época se ha hecho evidente la crisis por la que atraviesa el sector salud, lo cual ha implicado que las autoridades sanitarias realicen múltiples esfuerzos para hacerles frente y tratar de sobrellevarlas. En este escrito hacemos un breve recuento de las epidemias y pandemias que han afectado a México, desde el año 1450 hasta el 2020, la evolución histórica de las autoridades sanitarias y los aspectos generales del Derecho Sanitario.
