Epidemiological Surveillance and Control Strategies for Measles in Mexico: A Comprehensive Rehabilitative Approach

Measles remains a highly contagious viral disease and continues to represent a public health challenge in Mexico despite the interruption of endemic transmission in 2002. Imported cases, declining vaccination coverage, and misinformation have contributed to recurrent outbreaks between 2022 and 2024. This article analyzes the epidemiological surveillance system implemented in Mexico, particularly the role of the National Epidemiological Surveillance System (SINAVE), and examines prevention and rapid response strategies at primary, secondary, and tertiary levels of care. Furthermore, a comprehensive rehabilitative approach is proposed, integrating multidisciplinary management to address neurological, respiratory, auditory, and psychosocial sequelae. Strengthening vaccination coverage, inter-institutional coordination, community education, and health infrastructure are identified as essential pillars for measles elimination and reduction of morbidity and mortality.
