A federal Mexican public health strategy against overweight, obesity and diabetes, outlined by the Ministry of Health under President Enrique Pena Nieto's government on April 2, 2013, during World Health Day commemorations, with the first full edition of the strategy published that September. The strategy rests on three pillars, public health, medical care, and sanitary regulation and fiscal policy, and its explicit goal is to help reverse Mexico's epidemic of overweight, obesity and non-communicable disease, particularly type 2 diabetes, while contributing to the population's overall wellbeing. Its most widely noted concrete measure was Mexico's 2013 congressional approval of a one-peso-per-liter tax on sugar-sweetened beverages, which took effect in 2014 as part of the strategy's fiscal policy pillar.
