Que Tanto Cuesta El Tratamiento de VIH/SIDA en México?

Published Mar 10, 2014
México, D.F., México - En el 2012 se estimó un gasto de $151.4 millones de dólares americanos por parte del sistema de salud mexicano en tratamientos antirretrovirales para la atención de los 61,500 casos prevalentes de VIH/SIDA en población mayor de 20 años. La redistribución de los tratamientos antirretrovirales podría reducir un 14 a 28% el gasto anual. Este estudio, publicado en la revista Value in Health Regional Issues titulado “Análisis de Minimización de Costo e Impacto Presupuestario del Tratamiento ARV con Abacavir/Lamivudina para el VIH/SIDA en México” tuvo como finalidad evaluar tres objetivos principales. El primero fue la estimación del costo de los distintos tratamientos antirretrovirales disponibles, el segundo fue estimar, de acuerdo a la prevalencia en México, el costo global del tratamiento, y por último, estimar cual sería el impacto de sustituir unos tratamientos por otros. El tratamiento de abacavir/lamivudina, con un costo anual de $1,726 dólares americanos por paciente, representa un ahorro de $668 por paciente comparado a emtricitabina/tenofovir y de $290 con lamivudina/zidovudina. Debido a su eficacia equivalente, dicha sustitución generaría ahorros entre el 14 y el 28% por caso atendido para el sistema de salud mexicano.
