Objective: To identify differences in socioeconomic indi-cators, health conditions and use of services between the indigenous (IP) and non-indigenous population (NIP) of the country.

Materials And Methods: Descriptive cross-sectional study carried out with information obtained by the 2018-19 National Health and Nutrition Survey.

Results: Most IP are in the lowest socioeconomic quintile and they use less health services. Indigenous women reported a higher number of children, as well as childbirth care with midwives. IP go for medical care to institutions for the population without social security as the first option but expressed less desire to return to the same place.

Conclusions: IPs use less health services. An epidemiological panorama of double burden and inequity in access indicators that affect IP is configured. Reproductive health is the area where the greatest inequali-ties are observed.
