A Mexican Official Standard for accessibility to health-care facilities was developed by an interdisciplinary and inter-institutional group. Because of the North American Free Trade Agreement, the Standard should agree with standards of the United States and Canada. Not all elements for accessibility were included. Decisions on inclusion were based on functionality, durability, safety, cost, weather conditions, anthropometry and literacy; and on the fact that this Standard was for a developing country. The Standard only applies to buildings under construction or being remodeled.
