Sheinbaum guarantees "House-to-House Health" visits

President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo guaranteed that no senior citizen or person with disabilities in the country will be left unvisited by health workers from the "Salud, Casa por Casa" program.

After leading the House-to-House Health Assembly this Sunday at the Vicente Guerrero Hospital in Acapulco, Guerrero, the President reiterated that this is the most important preventive health program in the world.

He emphasized that this program, which will be complemented by the installation of Well-Being Pharmacies, is a regional program where healthcare workers leave their offices to visit senior citizens and people with disabilities and check on their health status.

"What we've done now is have healthcare workers leave their clinics and go out into the country to visit every senior citizen in the country. Not a single senior citizen will go unvisited by their nurse, their doctor," he said.

And he added: "So it's the preventive program, I mean the most important thing in the world. You're going to make history, not only in Mexico, but in the world, with this 'Salud, Casa por Casa' program."

Accompanied by Governor Evelyn Salgado (Morena) and members of her health cabinet, the federal governor announced that at the Farmacias del Bienestar (Well-Being Pharmacies), seniors and people with disabilities will be able to fill prescriptions given to them by the program's doctors completely free of charge.

He explained that these pharmacies will be located outside Wellness Stores and public health centers.

They'll be able to pick up their free medications there," he explained.
