In early October, the state hosted the First Psychiatry Congress, ‘Construyendo Redes en Salud Mental’ (Building Mental Health Networks), at Universidad Anáhuac Querétaro. The event, inaugurated by Health Secretary María Martina Pérez Rendón, aimed to improve coordination between academic institutions, government agencies, and civil organizations to address issues such as addiction and depression. Following this, health officials expanded their focus to enhance collaboration between state and municipal governments. Through the Querétaro Network of Municipalities for Health, authorities discussed strategies for mental health promotion, dengue prevention, and the development of ‘Age-Friendly Cities’ and ‘Health Promoting Municipalities.’ This effort seeks to integrate disease prevention and healthy lifestyle promotion directly into local communities. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-15: Querétaro health authorities strengthen municipal coordination Querétaro health officials are strengthening ties with municipalities to improve disease prevention, mental health, and community wellness through coordinated local actions. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/quertaro-health-authorities-strengthen-municipal-coordination ### 2026-10-05: Querétaro hosts first psychiatry congress to strengthen mental health networks The First Psychiatry Congress in Querétaro has launched, aiming to strengthen mental health networks, addiction prevention, and depression treatment through professional collaboration and policy development. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/quertaro-hosts-first-psychiatry-congress-to-strengthen-mental-health-networks --- Cite as: Querétaro public health coordination initiatives.
