Two ISSSTE Clinics With Operating Rooms Open in Tecámac After Municipal Donation

The openings highlight a shift toward public provision through the conversion of a municipal donation into expanded ISSSTE capacity.

Overview

  • The Tecámac municipal government donated two fully built and equipped facilities that ISSSTE adapted and put into operation.
  • Local capacity jumps from a single consultorio to 20 consultorios, 20 inpatient beds and three operating rooms across the two units.
  • The clinics are named Juana Belén Gutiérrez Chávez and Héroes Tecámac, offering general care, telemedicine and specialties including gynecology, internal medicine, surgery, traumatology, gastroenterology and ophthalmology.
  • Officials said the new services will serve roughly 100,000 ISSSTE beneficiaries in the region after adaptations to electrical, hydraulic and clinical support areas.
  • President Claudia Sheinbaum framed the move as reinvestment after ending private medical insurance for officials in 2018 and alleged 90 million pesos were spent on social‑media campaigns against her.
