In this space, “Business Foundations”, we have addressed several cases of health services offered by non-profit organizations serving, with affordable prices, certain social groups which could not be served even by the public offer of social security. nor for the private one. In a country where health service coverage is not guaranteed for the entire population, civil society organizations are a balm for those who cannot afford the high prices of these services. There is a long and interesting history of civil society organizations such as FEMAP in Ciudad Juárez founded by Ms. De la Vega more than 2 decades ago and whose contributions number in the thousands in women assisted, benefited and who have been able to start a life independent. Another case is that of Farmacias de Similares and the Best Foundation, which, with the pertinent reservations regarding patent, generic and similar medicines, established a medical guidance service, thanks to which thousands, if not millions, of families have been assisted in consultation. medical. The route inaugurated by Dr. Simi was followed by Farmacias del Ahorro and other brands. In terms of breast and cervical cancer, there are dozens of organizations that serve thousands of women, from the experienced Grupo Reto, to the CiIMAB Foundation and reaching Fucam. All of these organizations provide services from the non-profit sector.
For this reason, attention is drawn to the article Finland Mobile Number List by Maribel Ramírez Coronel published in El Economista the article “Unfair competition from Salud Digna” (last April 22), where she points out that “a growing discontent among the analysis and diagnosis laboratory industry has detonated the aggressive growth of the Salud Digna brand with its diagnostic and imaging services, visual health and nutritional advice, taking advantage of the tax advantages that its position as a supposedly non-profit association gives it when in fact it is becoming an emporium with great momentum commercial". Salud Digna was born on the initiative of Jesús Vizcarra in his native Sinaloa after an in-depth study of the “market” or rather the offer of non-profit health services. Of course, there is something from FEMAP in Salud Digna because the relevant models are scalable and replicable, an attribute of the philanthropic sector. The Salud Digna initiative was born independently of the political career of Jesús Vizcarra and due to its relevance it has been nominated on several occasions for the Philanthropy Award offered by the Private Assistance Board of that state and by the way several years ago I got to know him closely for participating as a jury for the award. Maribel Ramírez Coronel writes with certainty that “…her Decent Health project, born with a purely social objective, did pay off to the extent that today it has 60 branches in 19 states of the country”, one of them is Mexico City, where I have attested that Salud Digna offers affordable prices. For example, while a study with a mammogram included in a for-profit private laboratory had a cost of 1,800 pesos, in another non-profit organization the cost was 980 pesos and in Salud Digna it was offered at 600 pesos.
The El Economista columnist points out that Salud Digna “operates as a Private Assistance Institution (IAP) and this allows it to enjoy tax facilities and some other benefits because it is understood that its main objective would be social assistance serving the low-income population. economical. The situation is that the expansion of Salud Digna branches in recent years is no longer necessarily in marginalized areas, but in large cities and neighborhoods that are not highly marginalized.” In this regard, there is no geographical limitation for a non-profit organization to provide its service, nor does it develop strategies to offer its services to other organizations or companies. On the contrary, when they expand their coverage they are benefiting more families. The Mexican Council of Diagnostic Companies (Comed) estimates that Salud Digna is competing in an “unfair” manner. Rather, it will be necessary to analyze the profit margin of lucrative private medical services and the private medical practice of doctors who charge high fees that distance families from the tradition of the “family doctor.” It may be argued that medical expenses are one of the few that can be deducted today, but not all people file an annual return to recover expenses within the margin established by the Income Tax law. Criticism of the operation (from the non-profit aspect with the “advantages it gives due to its legal status” to Salud Digna could then reach another IAP, such as the worthy Mexican Red Cross, and point out that the services it offers go against private hospitals.
