Developments: 2. Health authorities in Tamaulipas have addressed various logistical and supply challenges within the state healthcare system. Initially, the Secretary of Health reported a shortage of up to 13% in general medicine supplies at health centers, though officials noted that oncology medications remained fully available. To mitigate these issues, the state began planning the 2027 budget and initiated recruitment processes for medical and nursing staff. In recent operations, the state has utilized aeromedical services to facilitate urgent transfers for specialized pediatric and intensive care patients. Specifically, the Centro Regulador de Urgencias Médicas (CRUM) and State Aerial Services coordinated the helicopter transport of a 10-year-old girl with spinal injuries from Matamoros to Ciudad Victoria, as well as the airlift of a four-day-old infant from Mante to the Hospital Infantil to treat a pulmonary condition. Concurrently, the State Health Security Committee has focused on inter-institutional coordination to manage epidemiological risks. Recent sessions in Ciudad Victoria have emphasized measles prevention, the impacts of extreme weather, and the ongoing certification process to become a state free of indigenous malaria. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-23: Tamaulipas health authorities conduct emergency aeromedical transfers Tamaulipas health authorities successfully conducted aeromedical transfers for a child with spinal injuries and a newborn with pulmonary issues, while coordinating regional epidemiological prevention. 16 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/tamaulipas-authorities-airlift-newborn-to-specialized-hospital ### 2026-09-13: Tamaulipas reports up to 13% shortage in general medicine supplies Tamaulipas health officials report a 13% shortage in general medicine supplies, though oncology medications remain fully available across the state's medical units. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/tamaulipas-reports-up-to-13-shortage-in-general-medicine-supplies --- Cite as: Tamaulipas healthcare system management.
