Overview
- President Claudia Sheinbaum said hospital distribution starts Monday following completion of the first phase to clinics.
- In five days, the program delivered 10,497 medication kits to 8,061 IMSS Bienestar primary-care units across 23 states using 1,006 routes.
- Officials say the distribution model cuts bureaucratic delays and is equipped to reach remote areas despite geographic and weather challenges.
- Kits are tailored to clinic size and are intended to cover up to 80% of common conditions, with recurring monthly shipments.
- Doctors report initial kits included 78 of 147 basic-list medicines and excluded insulin due to the lack of a cold chain on these routes.
