To reflect on the first level of healthcare in Mexico, and to make a comparison between theory and experience, based on a bibliographic review and autoethnography. The first level of health focuses on being the closest to the population, its preventive character, and being the first contact of the health services positions it as the basis of the health system, its attention is ambulatory, and the needs of a person, family or community are attended to. This is responsible for 85% of Mexico, and they show a higher rate of visits, but have less access.
The first level of care doesn’t have a good performance, and this may be due to different factors, such as geography, lack of communication and organization of institutions dedicated to it. There are many problems to be solved in the health system, and these have been presented in some subjects such as Public Health, Promotion of Healthy Lifestyles and Society and Health, all from different approaches have tried to present the problems that our country faces, however, what can we do as students? Propose campaigns to bring sexuality classes to areas where early pregnancies are high? We don't even know how many pregnancies there are in our own institution. We are required to promote, accompany or give health, when in our experiences we do not have health, and we do not know what can be done about it, the system teaches us to diagnose and classify, but never to see ourselves.
Everyone deserves health, but based on the experiences and information, we know that the system is exclusionary and disorganized, that is why it needs to be modified from the root, and not be under the demands of the school and the same health system, unfortunately, that would cause constant clashes with the system.
