Nuevo Laredo launches visual health campaign for free eye surgeries

Authorities in Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas, have launched a visual health campaign to provide free medical evaluations for 420 citizens. The initiative aims to identify candidates for cataract and pterygium surgeries.

The program is a coordinated effort involving municipal, state, and federal government levels. Participating entities include the Patrimonio de la Beneficencia Pública, Sistema DIF Tamaulipas, the Tamaulipas State Ministry of Health, IMSS-Bienestar, the Nuevo Laredo Civil Hospital, and the General Hospital.

Mayor Carmen Lilia Canturosas Villarreal emphasized that this inter-governmental cooperation is designed to bring essential health services directly to local families. This campaign builds upon previous efforts in the city, which have already resulted in more than 1,000 cataract surgeries for residents.
