Abstract
Primary care is essential for sustainable health care.1
Mexico is undergoing socioeconomic and health care
developments, but a barrier is policy makers’ poor
understanding of the role and function of primary
care. Consequently, the country struggles to meet
the health needs of its population. The Mexican College
of Family Medicine (MCFM) has the potential
to lead health systems change with strong primary
care, but lacks capacity. A pre-conference at the 2015
Cancun NAPCRG conference aimed to develop an
action plan and build leadership capacity for MCFM
