Mexico announces 12-action plan to strengthen ISSSTE health services
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has announced an emergency program consisting of 12 actions to be implemented over 120 days to strengthen the Institute for Social Security and Services for State Workers (ISSSTE). The plan, detailed by ISSSTE Director General Martí Batres Guadarrama, aims to improve hospital infrastructure, medical attention, and medicine supplies.
Key components of the strategy include the construction of 100 new consultorios for the Universal Health Service, the hiring of 1,710 specialists, 502 nurses, and 250 general doctors, and the remodeling of 64 emergency rooms. The initiative also focuses on concluding ongoing works in Oaxaca, Quintana Roo, Michoacán, and the State of Mexico, while initiating new projects in Durango, Sinaloa, Tabasco, and Chiapas.
To support medical capacity, the institute plans to acquire 69 tomographs, 53 mammographs, seven magnetic resonance imaging machines, and a linear accelerator. Additionally, the plan aims to double telemedicine consultations and maintain medicine supply levels above 97 percent. While the program is being rolled out for ISSSTE, similar measures are already in progress at the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS).
