Overview
- President Claudia Sheinbaum announced a Modelo de Atención Universal with 8 billion pesos to buy 1,000 mammographs and 1,000 ultrasounds and to open 32 new hospital units nationwide.
- Senator Enrique Vargas del Villar filed an initiative to create a Post‑Mastectomy Rehabilitation Fund to finance prostheses, reconstructive surgery, medicines and rehabilitation for patients with or without social security.
- Senator Martha Lucía Micher proposed a women’s health card and mobile services in indigenous languages to bring mammography and related screening to indigenous communities.
- Official data report more than 30,000 diagnoses annually and 8,451 deaths last year, while early detection pushes five‑year survival above 85% but access to timely screening remains unequal and cases are appearing in younger patients.
- Reporting highlights that men account for roughly 0.5–1% of cases and are often diagnosed late, and INCan estimates full treatment can exceed one million pesos with prostheses and reconstruction not uniformly guaranteed in law.
