La Organización Mundial de la Salud estima que el 15% de la población mundial, presenta algún grado de discapacidad. En México, el Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía, en el Censo de Población y Vivienda 2010, cuantificó que aproximadamente 5.7 millones de personas viven con algún tipo de discapacidad.

The World Health Organization estimates that 15% of the world's population has some degree of disability. In Mexico, the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI)[1], in the 2010 Population and Housing Census, quantified that approximately 5.7 million people live with some type of disability.

Un alto porcentaje de establecimientos para la atención médica ambulatoria y hospitalaria en el país, carecen de elementos arquitectónicos que faciliten el acceso, tránsito, uso y permanencia de las personas con discapacidad.

A high percentage of establishments for outpatient and hospital medical care in the country lack architectural elements that facilitate access, transit, use and permanence for people with disabilities.

Por ello, es importante establecer los requerimientos arquitectónicos mínimos con que deben contar los establecimientos para la atención médica ambulatoria y hospitalaria, para permitir que las personas con discapacidad hagan uso adecuado de los espacios físicos y se desplacen con seguridad, para recibir los servicios de atención médica que requieran.

Therefore, it is important to establish the minimum architectural requirements that establishments for outpatient and hospital medical care must have, to allow people with disabilities to make appropriate use of physical spaces and move safely to receive the medical attention services that they require.
