Based on the parameters considered by the World Health Organization (WHO), the availability of hospital beds, as well as medical and nursing staff is explored. Likewise, a comparative analysis of the resources of the Secretaría de Salud (SSA) is carried out in order to observe the changes in hospital reconversion in response to the pandemic. The results point to the gaps in the infrastructure of public medical services between states, and health care capacity below the parameters suggested by the WHO. A situation that in the context of a COVID-19 pandemic exacerbates pre-existing inequalities and additional representations of coverage for the country's public health system. Este artículo presenta un análisis sobre la infraestructura hospitalaria y recursos humanos del sistema de salud público en México en el contexto de crisis sanitaria de COVID-19. Con base en los parámetros que considera la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS), se explora la disponibilidad de las camas hospitalarias, así como del personal médico y de enfermería. Asimismo, se efectúa un análisis comparativo de los recursos de la Secretaría de Salud (SSA) para observar los cambios en la reconversión hospitalaria en respuesta a la crisis sanitaria. Los resultados indican que en el país persisten asimetrías en la infraestructura de servicios médicos por debajo de los parámetros sugeridos por la OMS y con amplias brechas entre estados. Situación que en el contexto de pandemia por COVID-19 exacerba las desigualdades preexistentes y representa retos adicionales de cobertura para el sistema de salud público del país.
