Introduction to the National Care System (SNC) in Mexico
Mexico has embarked on the development of a National Care System (SNC), a progressive initiative implemented through existing public institutions, departments, and programs. This endeavor aims to strengthen social care services across the nation.

According to the Secretariat of Women, by 2026, the SNC is projected to receive nearly 4% of the total public budget for that year. This allocation corresponds to approximately 1.2% of Mexico’s estimated GDP for 2026.
