Overview

  • IMSS Bienestar reports 10,497 preassembled kits delivered to 8,061 first-level units across 23 states between August 19 and 23.
  • The rollout used 1,006 logistics routes and about 710 delivery vans to reach communities and hard-to-access areas.
  • President Claudia Sheinbaum says the network now turns to supplying IMSS Bienestar hospitals, with recurring monthly kits planned and size-adjusted by facility.
  • Doctors report the initial kits contained 78 of 147 basic-medication keys and did not include Glargine insulin due to the lack of a refrigerated cold chain.
  • Director Alejandro Svarch Pérez oversaw state-by-state monitoring from warehouse to clinic, while a 24 Horas opinion column questioned earlier procurement issues at Birmex and the program’s high-profile rollout.
