Some barriers to the use of medical technology in Mexico

Abstract

The objective of this trial was the reflect on

the obstacles that represents for our country, the

development and use of medical technology as a

tool for support in the care of patients; and point

out some solutions that can run to optimize the

use of these technologies. In the development of

the work the reader will know some of the medical

technologies that is available, as well as the obstacles

that exist in our context to use them; but it is also

recommended to return to the good judgment of the

physician, to issue a diagnostic successful despite not

having these cutting-edge tools. Medical technology

evolved from the discoveries and the researchers of

past efforts, and are indisputable, the benefits and

the amazing thing of perfection; however, they must

be considered technological equipment as useful

instruments, which will select the most necessary

for a particular diagnosis. In Mexico, have been able

to acquire and use these technological advances, but

there are still many problems for their use, including

high costs in its acquisition and maintenance. So you

must remember and apply the precept Hippocratic

“do not incur an excess of inhumanity, but attend to

the living conditions and resources of the patient”.

As a conclusion we have that it is better to promote

more healthy lifestyles that reach the vast majority to prevent the disease.
