Core Tip	In our comprehensive analysis of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT) outcomes in Mexico, we underscore the pivotal role of insurance coverage. Patients with private insurance had superior survival rates compared to those relying on out-of-pocket or government programs. Intriguingly, geographical residence and referral sources did not significantly influence outcomes. This study underscores the profound implications of financial barriers in healthcare access and the urgent need for policy interventions. Our findings stress the importance of addressing socioeconomic disparities and emphasize the role of insurance status in enhancing alloHSCT outcomes in regions like Latin America.
