Public health initiatives in Chihuahua

Overview

Public health initiatives in Chihuahua have focused on disease prevention and expanded medical access through various campaigns and training programs.

In late July 2026, the municipal government of Chihuahua launched a hygiene campaign via the Instituto Municipal de Pensiones (IMPE) to curb gastrointestinal infections. The initiative emphasized preventive measures such as handwashing, water treatment, and proper food preparation to reduce diarrheal disease cases.

By late August 2026, health authorities expanded their efforts to include specialized medical training and community outreach. In Ciudad Juárez and Chihuahua City, the State Secretariat of Health conducted a training course led by a specialist from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) focused on the early detection and treatment of rickettsia. Concurrently, the state organized community health fairs, such as the “Cuenta Conmigo” event, to provide vaccinations, dental care, and other essential services to vulnerable populations.
