Efforts to expand Mexican healthcare infrastructure through the IMSS and IMSS-Bienestar systems have progressed in different regions. In Guanajuato, the Confederación de Trabajadores de México (CTM) and business leaders have petitioned IMSS Director General Zoé Robledo Aburto to initiate the construction of a new hospital. These groups cite rapid industrial and demographic growth in the León-Silao-Irapuato-Salamanca-Celaya corridor as a primary driver for increased medical demand.

In Guerrero, technical work has officially commenced for a new IMSS-Bienestar hospital in the municipality of Atlixtac. This project, which addresses a community demand lasting over 25 years, is a coordinated effort between federal and state governments to strengthen health infrastructure in the Montaña region.
