Overview
- President Claudia Sheinbaum and Health Secretary David Kershenobich launched a nationwide program that guarantees care across IMSS, ISSSTE and IMSS‑Bienestar regardless of a patient’s affiliation.
- Funding totals about 8,000 million pesos, with contributions split between IMSS and the federal government via ISSSTE and IMSS‑Bienestar, and officials project full rollout in roughly 18 to 24 months.
- The plan adds 1,000 mammographs and 1,000 ultrasounds, opens 20 diagnostic reference centers with remote image interpretation, and builds 32 state oncology units designed for women.
- Capacity goals include increasing from 656 to 1,656 mammographs by 2026 to enable up to 8.9 million mammograms annually, or about 34,000 studies per day.
- Prevention guidance calls for monthly self‑exams from age 20 and biennial mammograms for women 40 and older, with the first women’s oncology center slated to open in Mexico City in December 2025.
