Abstract: In this document we analyze the infrastructure and human resources (hospitals, beds, ORs, doctors and nurses, among others), both in the public and the private sector, to determine the installed capacity in the country to meet the potential demand that will be faced in case of universal coverage. The more feasible scenario implies great challenges in terms of growth of the required infrastructure. There will be needed 160,000 additional beds, 202,000 new nurses, investment in medical technology (for example, 136 units of radiotherapy) with respect to the infrastructure at the end of 2008. Furthermore, these resources must be fairly distributed at the regional level.
