Overview
- The municipality publicly presented Mil65 on Tuesday at Teatro La Comedia with Mayor Pablo Javkin leading the launch and senior officials outlining the plan's goals.
- Mil65 focuses on pregnant people, children in their first 1,000 days and residents aged 65 or older with special attention to roughly 2,200 highest-risk children and about 40,000 older adults who live alone.
- The city pledged short-term outreach targets, including reaching the 2,200 priority children within three months and opening a day center called La Casa Grande plus a new Hogar Nocturno for seniors.
- The program will not create new bureaucracy but will reorganize and strengthen existing municipal services with tools such as home-by-home follow-up for interrupted care, a permanent listening phone line, and clubs and schools for older adults.
- Mil65 relies on wide alliances with universities, health centers, social and religious groups and businesses, and it builds on earlier local models like Centros Crecer as officials say reinforced budget lines will support rollout while measurable outcomes are still to be implemented and monitored.
