Social assistance programs in Mexico distribute medical aids
Various social assistance programs in Mexico are distributing medical and orthopedic equipment to vulnerable populations.
In Chihuahua, the DIF Estatal and Fundación Telmex-Telcel utilized an 870,000 peso investment, split equally between both organizations, to provide free hearing aids to 110 beneficiaries. This follows a recent period where over 2,700 hearing aids and nearly 2,000 pairs of glasses were distributed across the state.
In Culiacán, Mayor Ana Miriam Ramos Villarreal led a distribution of orthopedic aids in the Costa Rica district. The initiative included 15 wheelchairs, four canes, and a walker to support local residents.
In Saltillo, Coahuila, DIF Saltillo received a donation of orthopedic devices from OXXO valued at 490,000 pesos. These items are intended to improve mobility and quality of life for local citizens requesting support.
