Overview

  • The rollout used 1,006 logistics routes to move supplies to first‑level units across nearly the entire national territory, according to IMSS Bienestar.
  • Officials say distribution to hospitals begins Monday to support continuous supply beyond primary‑care clinics.
  • IMSS Bienestar plans monthly kit resupply, with the number of packages tailored to the size of each clinic.
  • Director general Alejandro Svarch Pérez oversaw operations, coordinating with the Health Ministry, Birmex and regional medical teams.
  • Doctors report the initial kits contained 78 of 147 basic items and excluded insulin because the current routes lack refrigerated transport.
