While acknowledging the shortcomings in some hospitals, he said that problems are being identified in order to improve their productivity and surgery records .

"We want to recognize many states that have improved their productivity over the same period. Tabasco in particular, which has performed 40% more surgeries than last year; also states like Campeche and Sonora, which are reporting 22% growth; and other states like Michoacán, Jalisco, Guerrero, Yucatán, and Veracruz, which have seen between 13% and 17% growth compared to last year," he noted.

He also highlighted construction projects, such as the new Regional High-Specialty Hospital in Oaxaca, which will replace the Presidente Benito Juárez Hospital, and the demolition of the old Gonzalo Castañeda Hospital in Tlatelolco.
