RESUMEN
Declarada a fines de abril de 2009 la epidemia de influenza A (H1N1) en México, se realizaron toda una serie de críticas y en menor grado de apoyos respecto de las medidas aplicadas y de la forma de operar del sector salud mexicano. En este texto trato de explicitar, a través de materiales publicados en revistas médicas y en la prensa mexicana, cuáles son los presupuestos técnicos e ideológicos con que trabajó el sector salud y cuáles son los manejados por los críticos. Esto se realiza con dos objetivos complementarios primero, tratar de entender por qué actuó como actuó el sector salud mexicano y, segundo, para observar la legitimidad técnica de las acciones que desarrolló dicho sector y de las críticas que se hicieron a dichas acciones.
ABSTRACT
The declaration of the influenza A (H1N1) epidemic in late April 2009 in Mexico was followed by a series of criticisms and to a lesser degree shows of support of the measures applied and of the manner of operation of the Mexican health system. In this text, I attempt to explain, using materials published in medical journals and in the Mexican press, the technical and ideological assumptions behind the work undertaken by the health sector as well as the assumptions behind the criticisms received. This exploration has two complementary

objectives:

first, to understand why the Mexican health sector acted the way it did; and second, to consider the technical legitimacy of the actions developed by the health sector and of the criticisms made regarding those actions.
