Taking care of your health transforms the lives of more than a million New Yorkers

A pioneering program has transformed access to health for more than a million people, marking a continental milestone in medical coverage.

A Success That Beats Strong in the Heart of Nuevo León

Hello, transformative community! Today we vibrate with incredible energy as we celebrate a monumental victory. The Take Care of Your Health program is celebrating three years of pure and tangible social transformation. Imagine this: more than one million two hundred thousand people, human beings like you and me, who previously lived in the shadow of medical uncertainty, today have a shield of protection. This is not just a government achievement; It is a testament to the power of unity, vision and the conviction that a healthier future is not a dream, but a reality that we are building together. It is something to feel immense pride!

In a ceremony full of optimism and commitment, Governor Samuel Alejandro García Sepúlveda, along with his wife Mariana Rodríguez Cantú and the incredible Secretary of Health, Alma Rosa Marroquín, not only remembered a date, but also lit a flame of hope. They reaffirmed an unwavering commitment to the comprehensive well-being of each inhabitant. This goes beyond politics; It is a life mission, a shared purpose to raise the quality of life of an entire community. Every step taken is proof that when we put people first, miracles happen.

A Continental Model that Breaks Paradigms

The Governor’s words resonated with inspiring force: “Today with Alma at the head of the Ministry of Health, this program is a resounding success. It is an example, not only at the national level, but also at the continental level.” Think about the magnitude of that statement. One million two hundred thousand souls that did not have the IMSS or any type of health protection, today have a key in their hands: a card and a comprehensive program that opens the doors to health for free. This is empowerment in its purest state. It is giving people back peace of mind and the opportunity to live without fear.

And the commitment doesn’t stop at the basics. It expands deeper! Coverage covers high-cost conditions, such as childhood cancer and breast cancer. Illnesses that previously could cause a devastating financial and emotional burden, today find a supportive response. “Today we tell citizens that we cover everything, and we do it for free.” This is an affirmation that changes lives, that rebuilds families and that sows a seed of faith in tomorrow. It is turning the challenge into an opportunity to demonstrate the true value of the community.

The structure of Cuidar tu Salud is an ecosystem of love and care, designed with specific lines of action that touch every vital aspect of well-being. From Universal Coverage against Breast Cancer and Universal Coverage of Childhood Cancer, to programs with soul such as Asistimos con Amor and Feed with Love. It includes pioneering initiatives such as Oye for hearing health, Take Care of Your Mental Health – because a healthy mind is just as important –, the Maternal Fetal Medicine Institute for the beginning of life, and the Infarction Code to act quickly and save lives. Each one is a pillar of this health revolution!

The Birth of a Hope that Grows Every Day

Mariana Rodríguez, with that clarity that comes from the heart, recalled the origin of this dream: it was born after the disappearance of Seguro Popular, with the firm and powerful objective of guaranteeing that no family is left without medical care. This teaches us that the most brilliant solutions can emerge from moments of uncertainty. It’s not about waiting for things to happen, but about actively creating the change we want to see. And boy are they achieving it!

Secretary Alma Rosa Marroquín presented a balance that is much more than numbers; It is a story of hope. She stated that this program celebrates “the hope of thousands of families, the strength of our community and the inalienable right of every Neolonian to receive decent, accessible and quality medical care.” Every word is a reminder that health is a fundamental right, and seeing it come true is the greatest of victories. It is the materialization of social justice in its most human form.

Recognition also came from the federal sphere. The Undersecretary of Health Policies and Population Wellbeing, Ramiro López Elizalde, was present and recognized the work of the state government. His message was a powerful affirmation of unity: “Health is the bridge that unites the country, and in Nuevo León it is demonstrated that we are united by health, well-being and by Mexico.” This shows us that great transformations are achieved when we work in synergy, with a shared vision of progress and well-being for all.

Friends, this is the kind of news that recharges our spirit. They show us that with clear leadership, passion and impeccable execution, it is possible to reshape reality. Taking care of your Health is not just a program; It is a movement, a legacy of public health that is marking a before and after. It is proof that investing in people is the best development strategy. Every consultation, every treatment, every smile of relief is a brick in the construction of a stronger, more compassionate and more resilient society.

Share this wave of positivity! Spread this success story on your social networks to inspire more communities. Together, we can show that a healthy future for all is possible.

Nuevo León celebra tres años de Cuidar tu Salud

FDA recognizes false positive in Taylor Farms lettuce

Cofepris analysis rules out contamination; FDA admits error in initial sample.

Analysis results

The Ministry of Health reported that tests carried out on lettuce and water samples from the Taylor Farms Mexico plant were negative for the parasite Cyclospora cayetanensis —which causes severe diarrhea— and also for fecal coliforms. The analyses, carried out by Cofepris, confirmed that the product complies with the physicochemical parameters established in national standards.

Traceability and false positive

Taylor Farms has a traceability system that allowed United States authorities to identify the origin of the product and track a batch held at customs in Laredo, Texas. That batch never entered US territory.

The sample obtained from that batch returned a false positive, a situation that the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recognized in an update published on July 19. The Ministry of Health emphasized that the product is suitable for human consumption.

UIF identifies 55 people in the CJNG financial network

The FIU detected 55 people linked to a CJNG financial network, including 16 front companies.

The Financial Intelligence Unit (UIF) of Mexico detected 55 people allegedly linked to a financial network of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG). The finding was achieved through specific financial indicators, as reported by the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit (SHCP).

Release 61 details that the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) of the United States Department of the Treasury designated 55 people – 39 individuals and 16 legal entities – related to this structure. The action is part of bilateral cooperation against the finances of organized crime.

Indicators detected

The FIU identified “indicators related to possible operations with resources of illicit origin.” Among them: cash operations, acquisition of high-end vehicles, jewelry and real estate, international transfers, intensive use of credit and service cards, and inconsistencies in income reported to the SAT.

The authorities detected “possible inconsistencies between the income reported to the tax authority and the resources observed in the financial system,” which strengthened the identification of the network.

Front companies and complaints

Of the total, 16 legal entities had illegal activities. According to the FIU, some registered relevant operations, while others were front companies with “limited or no apparent economic activity.”

The UIF filed a complaint with the Attorney General’s Office (FGR) for the crime of operations with resources of illicit origin. It also included the subjects designated by OFAC on the List of Blocked Persons (LPB), and added eight additional ones—four individuals and four legal entities—linked to the same financial structure.

International coordination

The Treasury stressed that the coordinated actions with the United States seek to “prevent improper use of the financial system, combat money laundering and weaken the economic structures of organized crime.” The FIU maintains cooperation with national and international authorities, in accordance with the standards of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF).

US Treasury locates Florence as a drug production center

The Treasury Department identified the Zacatecas municipality as the CJNG base for fentanyl and cocaine.

The United States Department of the Treasury identified Florencia de Benito Juárez, Zacatecas, as one of the key points of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) to manufacture fentanyl, cocaine and methamphetamine.

According to the agency, José Octaviano García Martínez is the current head of the plaza in the area, accompanied by Cuauhtémoc Rivera Zepeda and Uriel Hernández Morales. These last two would be in charge of the clandestine laboratories in Zacatecas and Jalisco. All three report to Audias Flores Silva—alias El Jardinero—, designated as successor to the late leader Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, El Mencho.

Criminal presence in a small municipality

Florencia de Benito Juárez barely covers 328 square kilometers in the south of the state, in the Sierra Madre Occidental, adjacent to Jalisco. Despite its size, the municipality has been the scene of organized crime operations.

In March 2025, authorities dismantled a camp used by a criminal cell. Months later, in June, they destroyed a greenhouse used for growing marijuana. Both operations sought to neutralize illegal infrastructure.

The municipal president elected in 2024 is Fortino Cortés Ramírez, who will conclude his term in 2027.

Recent violence and federal response

On Saturday, July 18, 2025, 10 bodies were found in the municipalities of Morelos, Pánuco and Sain Alto. Of the victims, six were construction, mining and entertainment businessmen. Two others were officials of the Fresnillo city council: Fidel Alvarado de la Torre, secretary of Municipal Social Development, and firefighter Jesús Gerardo Muñetón Hernández.

Given these events, the Secretariat of National Defense deployed 100 Special Forces elements on July 22. They joined the 400 Army and National Guard troops who had already been operating since July 19. They carry out ground reconnaissance and deterrent actions in Zacatecas, Guadalupe and Fresnillo.

The conflict in the region is not new. On May 20, 2011, a clash between rival groups—known as The Florence War—left 77 people dead. The journalist Alfredo Valadez Rodríguez documented this episode in the book of the same name, published by Ediciones Proceso in 2021.
