#ISSSTE, #México.– In the context of the National Day of Older Persons, commemorated on August 28, the Institute of Social Security and Services for State Workers (ISSSTE), headed by Director General Martí Batres Guadarrama, reaffirms its commitment to ensuring the well-being of this sector, which represents 34.9 percent of the beneficiary population, by promoting actions focused on dignifying this stage of life through health, culture, recreation, and sports.

Among the health services offered, geriatric consultations at the secondary and tertiary levels of care stand out. These consultations are provided with a comprehensive approach in coordination with other specialties such as psychology, social work, gerontology, and nutrition.

According to Andrea Tejero Tun, director of the Family Medicine Clinic with Specialties and Operating Room (CMFEyQ) in León, Guanajuato, the objective of the geriatric service is to identify health risks in older adults, prevent complications, and improve their autonomy and quality of life.

«What we do at the Institute as geriatricians is focus on preventing, diagnosing, and treating diseases, as well as promoting an active old age, without forgetting the families of older adults, who are a fundamental part of this stage of their lives,» he said.
