Morenoist governors closed ranks on health policy

Mexico City. Summoned to the National Palace, the 23 Morenoist governors closed ranks around the health policy of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador. They applauded him upon his arrival at the Treasury room and praised the federalization of health services in those entities: The IMSS-Wellbeing vindicates the human right to have a health system that responds with empathy and efficiency, not only to cure diseases, but also to heal the spirit.assured the governor of Tlaxcala, Lorena Cuéllar.

During the conference they had already heard the presidential disagreement against the debate narrative in matters of health. The three speakers appointed to demonstrate their support for López Obrador were eloquent on the change in the sector: “We had a completely broken, disjointed health system, which was exclusive for those who did not have the benefits of social security: they were unfortunately called ‘nothings’,” said the governor of Nayarit, Miguel Ángel Navarro.

A little more measured, the governor of Tamaulipas, Américo Villarreal, evaluated the process of federalization of health services in those 23 entities and highlighted that “we are at the birth of a new health model that, like all public policy, faces challenges. in their implementation, but with everyone’s will we will overcome them.

We appreciate in it the humanism that characterizes this administration in the search for equity and social justice, a competent, effective model to provide institutional results.

Villarreal highlighted that as part of this new strategy there has been re-equipment in hospital units and basification of medical personnel. Coupled with equipment and medications, a cycle of deterioration has been reversed to improve important health indicators of the population, to name a few, such as the decrease in maternal death, obstetric emergencies and neonatal illness and mortality, and in the opportunity and survival in the care of patients with acute myocardial infarction.

Before López Obrador and a good part of the health cabinet, the governors praised the policy in the sector.

Navarro highlighted that They don’t tell us, they can’t be telling us what we haven’t observed: we find the public health system invaded. There were private pharmacies where very high prices for medicines were charged and sometimes prescriptions were charged that were never filled..

The governor added: Today you bet on La Clínica es Nuestra, where you give them the guarantee by depositing the economic resource in each one, in each of the communities in the country. Yes, we have made a great leap in terms of health.
