The municipal and state governments of San Luis Potosí have implemented various initiatives to expand public health and rehabilitation services. At the municipal level, the administration reported advancements in specialized care through the Unidad Básica de Rehabilitación (UBR) Maravillas, which provided over 255,148 services. Efforts included facility improvements, such as the construction of a hydrotherapy area, and the ‘Ruta de la Salud 3.0’ program, which delivered medical services and supplies directly to neighborhoods.

At the state level, Governor Ricardo Gallardo Cardona announced a broader expansion in coordination with the federal government and IMSS-Bienestar. This plan involves the launch of medical clinics, with recent updates from Health Secretary Leticia Gómez Ordaz indicating a target of 453 clinics across all municipalities to provide primary care and access to a 60-item basic medication list. To support this growth, the state is addressing nursing shortages by securing federal nursing posts—with the first 50 allocated to begin work shortly—and opening calls to hire approximately 200 additional nurses. The ‘Visitando Corazones’ strategy continues to provide home-based medical services for families with limited mobility.

Regarding public health outcomes, officials reported an 87 percent reduction in dengue cases during 2026 with no recorded deaths, and achieved 100 percent measles vaccination coverage for the six-year-old age group. While medical units and drug warehouses have been transferred to the federal system via IMSS-Bienestar, the state maintains responsibility for salary dispersion for thousands of workers and manages emergency services through a fleet of 187 ambulances.
