#ISSSTE.- During this month, the offer of comprehensive medical check-ups for public sector workers, retirees and pensioners at the Automated Detection and Diagnosis Clinic (Clidda) of the Institute of Security and Social Services for State Workers (Issste) was increased, as part of «February, Men’s Health Month», informed the General Director, Pedro Zenteno Santaella.

The purpose is to encourage them to become involved in the responsible self-care of their health in a preventive manner and, in the long term, to live longer and better lives, he emphasized.

The director of Clidda, Óscar Valentino Ortiz Barajas, said: «Men in Mexico live six years less than women. In 2020, life expectancy at birth for women was 78.1 years and for men 72.4 years. The reality is that we are not in the habit of monitoring our health and we go to the doctor when we are already in very advanced conditions of disease; hence the importance of this campaign».
