Healthcare infrastructure development is expanding in Quintana Roo, Mexico. In Cancún, demolition has commenced on the former General Hospital, which has been inactive since 2017. This site is being cleared to construct a new Materno Infantil Hospital under the IMSS-Bienestar program. The project, estimated at 640 million pesos, will provide specialized care for maternal and pediatric needs with over 100 beds.

In Chetumal, the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS) has approved a land donation for a new 120-bed General Zone Hospital. This project involves an investment of approximately 2,967 million pesos and aims to more than double the capacity of the existing local hospital. The new facility is expected to serve roughly 111,000 beneficiaries.
