Clínicas del Azúcar (comprehensive low-cost diabetes care)

Description

Social enterprise headquartered in Monterrey, founded in 2010 by Javier Lozano (MBA, MIT Sloan), inspired by his mother's diabetes. It operates Mexico's largest network of diabetes clinics: a one-stop-shop model with medical, psychological, nutrition and laboratory care under a flat-fee membership (~USD 250-300/year), evidence-based care algorithms and data-driven predictive models. It cuts the cost of specialized care by more than 60% compared with the public system; it has served more than 220,000 patients, up to 95% of them low- and middle-income, with more than 50 clinics in some 19 cities and expansion to Texas.
