A historic step towards public health in the capital

Good news for everyone’s well-being! The united commissions of Constitutional Points and Health of the Congress of Mexico City have taken a decisive step by approving, unanimously, a ruling that will prohibit the use of vapers and electronic cigarettes in the capital. This not only reflects a commitment to collective health, but also aligns local legislation with the already existing federal framework. A triumph for future generations!

Protecting lives, building a healthier future

The opinion, supported without objections, modifies both the Political Constitution of CDMX and the local Health Law. Its objective is clear: guarantee the right to health protection and sanction activities related to these devices, including their production, distribution and sale. Additionally, it addresses the illicit use of substances such as fentanyl and other unauthorized synthetic drugs. It’s time to prioritize well-being over commercial interests!

President Claudia Sheinbaum reported on advances in the public health system, with investments in equipment, telemedicine and improvement of clinics. He affirmed that the State must guarantee access to health from prevention to care for complex diseases.

“We are compensating for the profound damage that neoliberalism caused in the health system,” he said at the morning conference.

Equipment and telemedicine

The IMSS installed 42 state-of-the-art CT scanners in 40 hospitals in 19 states. Of these, 41 are from 256 cuts. They allow early detection of tumors and bleeding, perform up to 50 studies per day and reduce waiting times. They were acquired for 29 million pesos each, below the 40 million in the past.

The ISSSTE expanded telemedicine from 239 to 859 units. It offers consultations in 15 specialties, such as cardiology and dermatology, from 118 second and third level units to 741 first level.

The Clinic is Ours

The La Clínica es Nuestra program delivered 4,608 million pesos in 2025 to 8,483 medical units, with the participation of 67,864 people. 42 thousand improvement actions were carried out in infrastructure and equipment. The 2026 call will begin in July, including for the first time 153 units from Yucatán with 80 million pesos.

Sheinbaum added that progress is being made in the House to House Health program, with more than 20 million consultations with older adults and people with disabilities. Starting in August-September, you will be able to collect medications at Farmacias del Bienestar, health centers and a network of pharmacies. Next year the Universal Health Service will begin with a single credential.

Measures for the Mexico-Czech Republic match

The government of Mexico City announced an unprecedented security operation for this Wednesday’s game at the Azteca stadium. 56,000 personnel will be deployed, five times more than the 11,219 employed last week.

The decision responds to the celebrations of the previous Thursday, when some 700,000 people gathered in the capital after Mexico’s victory over South Korea. Although there were no injuries, nearly 40 tons of garbage were collected in the Ángel de la Independencia and the Zócalo.

The Secretary of Security, Pablo Vázquez, detailed that 7,500 police officers will guard the Azteca stadium. Another 3,275 will be in the Zócalo and 4,200 on Reforma Avenue. The objective is to protect players, referees, authorities and fans.

In addition, the Secretary of Government, César Cravioto, reported that starting at 3 p.m. on June 24, a ban on the sale of alcohol will take effect for sixteen hours. Applies to the Historic Center and five neighborhoods of Cuauhtémoc.

Sales will only be allowed in restaurants, hotels and private clubs, accompanied by food. Convenience stores and supermarkets are excluded. The fines for non-compliance amount to up to 293,275 pesos (about $17,251).

The Mexican Alliance of Transporters Organization (AMOTAC) called for mobilizations on highways in the 32 states and blockades in the capital to protest against the violence. The operation also considers these protests.
