#GobiernoDeMéxico.- The IMSS Bienestar program benefits 53.2 million people in 23 states, representing 80 percent of the country’s population without social security, said the Director General of the Mexican Social Security Institute, Zoé Robledo Aburto.
The remaining 20 percent, he explained, corresponds to inhabitants of states whose governments refused to join the federalization system. The states are Aguascalientes, Chihuahua, Coahuila, Guanajuato, Jalisco, Nuevo León and Querétaro. This year Durango and Yucatán will be added, which will mean an increase to 54.5 million people, equivalent to 81.8 percent.
At a morning press conference with President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, the official presented a comparison between the IMSS Coplamar model in 2019 and IMSS Bienestar in 2024, present in communities in Baja California, Baja California Sur, Campeche, Chiapas, Mexico City, Colima, Estado de México, Guerrero, Hidalgo, Michoacán, Morelos, Nayarit, Oaxaca, Puebla, Quintana Roo, San Luis Potosí, Sinaloa, Sonora, Tabasco, Tamaulipas, Tlaxcala, Veracruz and Zacatecas.
At the beginning of the administration there were 80 rural hospitals in 19 states; now there are 669 hospitals in 28 states, including entities that still apply the IMSS Coplamar model.
In 2019 there were 3,622 rural medical units; to date there are 11,935 health centers, which are rehabilitated and equipped through the La Clínica es Nuestra program, which relies on the participation of the people in the Health and Wellness Committees, where resources are administered based on the needs of each facility.
IMSS Bienestar hires medical personnel; this year there are 274,977 health workers, in contrast to 2019, when there were only 25,936.
In addition, the supply of medicines has increased. To date, there are 3,210 codes, of which 1,483 correspond to medicines and 1,727 to healing materials through the single IMSS Bienestar catalog for incorporated states, as opposed to 2019, when there were 1,983 codes for medicines and healing supplies.
