Overview
- President Claudia Sheinbaum publicly affirmed Monday that Zoé Robledo will remain IMSS director and instructed him to present a new, fiscally realistic wage and benefits offer to union members.
- IMSS negotiators and the Sindicato Nacional de Trabajadores del Seguro Social continue formal talks after most workers rejected the prior package and staged protests demanding about a 10 percent pay rise and changes in union leadership.
- The institute’s 'Piso por Piso' diagnostic has been completed in 216 of 277 hospitals and will guide center-specific action plans to address shortages of medicines, equipment and facility repairs.
- Sheinbaum announced a plan to digitalize and automate warehouses and logistics, recruit young specialists in data science and operations, and cut decades-old paperwork that officials say delays deliveries of items already bought.
- Longer-term constraints remain: officials point to decades of underinvestment, Birmex’s role in consolidated purchases, and the need to coordinate any new wage deal with the finance ministry, which could limit how large a settlement IMSS can offer.
