Tabasco cataract surgery campaign

Overview

The government of Tabasco, led by Governor Javier May Rodríguez, launched the ‘Second Jornada de Cirugía de Cataratas 2026’ to address cataract-related blindness. Coordinated by the Instituto de la Beneficencia Pública del Estado de Tabasco with support from the Federal Health Secretariat, the program utilizes intraocular lenses donated by the federal administration.

The initiative aims to perform 2,000 surgeries across 17 municipalities. By mid-2026, 707 surgeries had been completed. Local health jurisdictions and municipal presidents assist with patient transport to ensure that approximately 30 to 40 individuals per municipality receive treatment.
