Overview

• ISSSTE officials said outpatient consultations at the new Regional Hospital in Acapulco begin Monday, August 25, with emergency, labs and operating rooms to follow in the coming weeks and full operation targeted within two months.
• Earlier Friday, President Claudia Sheinbaum made an unannounced inspection of the IMSS‑Bienestar General Hospital in Tlapa, which has been operating since April and replaces the old facility for more than 400,000 residents in La Montaña.
• IMSS‑Bienestar figures cite roughly 2,400 million pesos for Tlapa’s infrastructure and 650 million for equipment, and authorities highlighted expanded specialist staffing and service capacity.
• Sheinbaum reiterated that the Guerrero hospital projects drew on proceeds from the sale of the presidential plane and noted her administration has inaugurated 31 hospitals and 12 health centers since October 2024.
• Local tensions marked the tour, with Proceso reporting a road blockade that the president and governor avoided by helicopter and local media describing unfinished work at parts of the Acapulco complex, even as the federal government launched urban improvement works and a security-focused ‘Senderos de Paz’ program in the port.
