Exchanging Information About Reproductive and Sexual Health on the US-Mexico Border: A Good Example of Collaboration

Public health is a human right that transcends borders yet is defined by socioeconomic, demographic, and cultural differences. In other words, it is connected to a nation’s development. Mexico and the United States share a 3,326km border that includes 4 US and 6 Mexican border states, more than 20 border crossing points, and an intensive economic, cultural, and commercial exchange (1). Concerted binational efforts are necessary to preserve and maintain the best possible conditions to protect the health of our citizens.
