Based on reported data, mortality from breast cancer in Mexico is low - at 15.0 deaths per 100 000 women, compared to over 25 OECD-wide - but mortality from cervical cancer is the highest in the OECD, with 10.2 deaths per 100 000 women, compared to the OECD average of 3.5 deaths per 100 000 women. While a dramatic drop in mortality from cervical cancer in Mexico between 2003 and 2013 is observable - the mortality rate fell from 15.8 deaths per 100 000 women - the low rates of cervical screening suggest that there is still real room for improvement. Life expectancy grew by barely one year between 2000 and 2013, such that the gap in longevity between Mexico and other OECD countries is now higher today than it was a decade ago. Health and prosperity continue to be unequally distributed, with people in southern states, women, children and indigenous groups suffering from noticeably poorer outcomes.
