The government of Hidalgo, through the State Health Secretariat, has implemented various public health initiatives focusing on specialized care and professional training.

Initial efforts centered on mental health prevention, particularly for adolescents and young people. This strategy emphasized early detection of warning signs—such as mood changes, isolation, and substance use—and aimed to combat stigma through awareness campaigns and community collaboration.

Subsequent actions expanded to strengthen early childhood development. This involved training health personnel and medical students to recognize developmental needs during routine activities like vaccinations and home visits, ensuring health workers act as agents of change in pediatric care.
