Hospital organizations can be conceived as stages of political processes where the interestsemerging fromdifferent professionals approaches and cultures are conciliated. This paper aims at answering the following question: what is the cultural configuration of public hospitalsin Mexico and what are the main similarities and differences among them? The goal is to identify the differences in cultural approaches that lead the action of physicians, nurses and other health professionals but also of managers of public hospitals and to infer whether they are able to promote the cooperation between these three groups. The first results, obtained through a qualitative case-study strategy, showa kind of cultural convergence between medical professionalsand the so-called corporate culture, leading to the study of similar cases to validate the results and advance.
