Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum has issued a landmark decree to establish a Universal Health Service, initiating a process to ensure all 120 million citizens can access any public medical institution. The first phase begins April 13 with the rollout of a new Universal Health Credential, starting with citizens aged 85 and older. This unified digital and physical platform aims to eventually streamline care across facilities like the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS), the Institute for Social Security and Services for State Workers (ISSSTE), and IMSS-Bienestar.

      One of my BFF’s father moved to MX years ago. An entire area of Ex-Pats.

      Sorry, I can’t remember the specific name.

      His father would return to Boston every single year for his medical check up, etc. I wonder if this would change the game plan. I’ll keep an eye on it.
