Mexico plans 32 breast cancer care centers by 2029
President Claudia Sheinbaum announced a national plan to construct 32 Comprehensive Breast Cancer Care Centers by 2029, with one facility established in each Mexican state. This initiative aims to replicate the successful model of the La Pastora Oncology Hospital in Mexico City, which utilizes artificial intelligence to support mammography analysis and expedite diagnostics.
The rollout is scheduled in three stages: 10 centers in 2027, 11 in 2028, and 10 in 2029. The goal is to provide diagnoses in less than 14 days and initiate treatment in under 30 days, significantly improving upon current international averages. These centers will offer a closed-circuit model, concentrating detection, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up within a single unit.
In various regions, local health authorities are also conducting intensive prevention campaigns. In Hidalgo, ISSSTE performed 300 mammographies in less than three weeks using AI-supported digital networks. In Huixquilucan, the government completed 355 free mammographies through coordinated health sessions. Additionally, Quintana Roo reported performing 12,927 free mammographies over a 12-month period to strengthen early detection efforts.
