DESK REVIEW | 04.06.03. Are they approved by government?

The Clinical Protocol of Therapeutic Guidelines was approved by the government, it was developed by the Ministry of Health.

This reference framework is approved by the Government and provided by the Primary Healthcare Office of the Food and Health Bureau (FHB).

The PERDOSSI guideline was not issued by the government, but nationally accepted as it was issued by a professional organisation operating under the country’s legal framework.

No data was sourced due to an apparent lack of internal guidelines related to dementia within professional healthcare bodies and the public healthcare system.

The guidelines are developed, approved, and disseminated by the Ministry of Health, and are supported by the main institutions that are part of the national health system, such as IMSS, ISSSTE, PEMEX, DIF, as well as other health institutions at the national level.

As outlined in the NZ dementia framework, all DHBs are monitored and evaluated by the Ministry of Health (on behalf of the government) to ensure the appropriate targets are being achieved.
