Federal government rescues more than 90 unfinished hospitals throughout the country / @zoerobledo @Tu_IMSS >>>

#IMSS.- During the current administration, the federal government has rescued more than 90 additional hospitals that were abandoned, unfinished, without equipment or sufficient staff, informed the Director General of the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS), Zoé Robledo.

During the press conference headed by President Andrés Manuel López Obrador at the National Palace, Zoé Robledo presented the progress made in terms of the rehabilitation of hospitals that were not performing operations, consultations or auxiliary diagnostic studies.

“In some cases they were put into operation thanks to federalization, that is, the states passed to IMSS-Bienestar and that allowed access to resources from the Health Fund for Welfare that were earmarked for the completion of hospitals.”

He detailed that there were also medical units built for the state health secretariats by Seguro Popular; they were rescued and put into operation by Social Security, and others built by the Institute of Security and Social Services for State Workers (Issste).

When presenting a report on each state, he informed that in Aguascalientes, the construction of the “Miguel Hidalgo” Specialties Hospital began in 2008, but due to lack of resources, it was abandoned for 13 years. “A report by the Superior Audit Office of the Federation (ASF) evidenced that the cost of the construction had been overpriced in the periods from 2006 to 2010. There was an investment of 1.7 billion pesos (mdp) and it was put into operation in 2020”.
