Instituto Nacional de Salud Pública (INSP) / National Institute of Public Health

El Instituto Nacional de Salud Pública (INSP) / The National Institute of Public Health (INSP) is recognized as an academic institution that combines excellence in research with the operation of a prestigious, high-level graduate program. On this basis, the Institute has made important contributions to public health in Mexico in fields such as cancer and tobacco epidemiology, reproductive and environmental health, vector and infectious disease control, nutrition, program evaluation, and the development of national surveys, among others.

The INSP has had a long process of institutional consolidation, intimately linked to the advances in health in the country, despite the gap that still exists between the generation of knowledge and decision making in health policies, which has become one of the most important challenges for the INSP in the immediate future.
