ISSSTE Opens Family Medicine Unit in Playa del Carmen With Immediate Patient Services

Officials say the facility replaces an old consultorio, opening with a fully stocked pharmacy of 188 medications for roughly 14,000 beneficiaries.

Overview

  • The unit was inaugurated on January 6 via video link during the presidential morning press conference with President Claudia Sheinbaum, Governor Mara Lezama and ISSSTE director Martí Batres.
  • ISSSTE states the clinic begins operations immediately to serve about 14,000 state workers and their families in Playa del Carmen.
  • Facilities include two family medicine rooms, a dental room and a curaciones room, along with a pharmacy, archive, storage, waiting area and sanitary facilities.
  • The pharmacy opened at full supply with 188 medication keys, according to Batres.
  • Officials said the project replaces a longstanding consultorio and was built on roughly 10,400 square meters with an investment of about 14 million pesos, which Lezama framed as ending a 26-year wait.
