IMSS begins distribution of high-tech medical equipment to 39 hospitals

The Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS) has launched the distribution of 47 specialized medical devices to 39 hospitals across 19 Mexican states. This initiative is part of the “12 Actions in 120 Days” program, which aims to improve medical care and hospital infrastructure.

The first shipment, dispatched from the Vallejo Central Warehouse, includes 20 3D ultrasound machines, 17 electrocardiographs for emergency areas, and 10 multiparametric vital signs monitors for intensive care units. IMSS Director General Zoé Robledo stated that the allocation was based on direct requests from medical, nursing, and technical staff identified during field supervision and active listening exercises.

This initial delivery represents approximately 1.6 percent of the total goal of 2,917 pieces of equipment planned under the institutional strategy. Beneficiary states include Chihuahua, Jalisco, Morelos, Nuevo León, Oaxaca, Hidalgo, Sonora, Tamaulipas, Quintana Roo, Estado de México, Coahuila, and Guanajuato.
