#MexicanSocialSecurityInstitute, #Mexico.- The Director General of the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS), Zoé Robledo, alongside the Secretary of Health, Doctor David Kershenobich Stalnikowitz, inaugurated the Commission for the Transformation of Surgical Care within the Social Security system. This pivotal new model is designed to establish a space for innovation, evidence, and collaboration, uniting various key institutions to generate robust knowledge and proposals. Its ultimate goal is to fortify surgery as a potent lever for transforming the entire national health system.

Speaking in the «Gastón Novelo» plenary session hall of the Inter-American Conference on Social Security (CISS), Zoé Robledo outlined the structure of the new Commission. It comprises three core lines of research, covering system fundamentals, care processes, and quality impact, alongside 14 research nuclei. Each nucleus brings together an IMSS researcher, a substantive Institute promoter, and an allied external investigator to drive forward change. The Commission’s focus is clear: to be a source of applicable knowledge to enhance health services, specifically surgical care.

Robledo elaborated that these nuclei feature senior directors and specialists from the Social Security Institute, alongside experts from prestigious national and international partners. These include the Boston Children’s Hospital, the National Institute of Public Health (INSP), the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), and leading technological universities such as ITAM, Tecnológico de Monterrey, and Universidad Anáhuac. This multi-institutional approach aims to improve waiting times and quality of care, which will directly impact user satisfaction for those insured.

The IMSS Director General stressed that this is not an individual effort, declaring: “What is learned here belongs to the health sector, to Mexico, to its government, and to its people, as an experience that can be exportable to other countries in our region.” Secretary Kershenobich Stalnikowitz commended Zoé Robledo’s leadership, adding that the Health Secretariat fully supports the initiative. He concluded by asserting that “improving surgical care is also a way to strengthen the leadership of the health system,” setting a significant precedent.
