Claudia Sheinbaum Announces Expansion of Primary Care Services and New Health Initiatives Across Mexico

President Claudia Sheinbaum led a press conference on August 25 to outline significant expansions in Mexico's healthcare infrastructure. Undersecretary of Health Eduardo Clark GĂĄrza announced that the government will establish 12,750 new primary care clinics across 24 states, beginning operation between January and February 2027. These clinics will provide basic medical reviews and free medication for common ailments like flu and diarrhea, with the goal of reducing the burden on larger hospitals. Additionally, Eduardo Clark GĂĄrza detailed the expansion of the FarmacĂș del Bienestar program, which will operate in 24 states by November 2026. This initiative ensures that elderly patients receiving care through the Casa por Casa program receive a consistent supply of medications. President Claudia Sheinbaum also addressed the political situation in Sinaloa, criticizing the attempt by RubĂ©n Rocha Moya to return to the governorship. She noted that the government must prioritize the interests of the people over personal interests, especially as the FGR continues to investigations into state officials regarding links to Los Chapitos.
