From Colima, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador put an ultimatum to his health cabinet to solve the drug shortage problem in Mexico.
“We already have to finish solving the problem of the supply of medicines. This is for Juan Ferrer, for doctor (Jorge) Alcocer ”, he emphasized, addressing the head of the Institute of Health for Wellbeing (Insabi) and Secretary of Health, respectively, present at the Colima Support Plan event.
“I don’t want to hear that medications are missing and I don’t want excuses of any kind.
We cannot sleep soundly if there are no medicines to take care of the sick. “
During the meeting in support of Indira Vizcaíno Silva, governor of Colima, which was attended by the entire Lopez Obrador cabinet, the head of the federal Executive said that he will not be calm until there is a sufficient supply of medicines.
“Free medical care and medicines and not a basic chart, all medicines. Even the most difficult to get. That is why the possibility of buying medicines in the world was opened. There are no more excuses. “
López Obrador explained that his government will reinforce four actions in health matters so that there are adequate facilities, there is no shortage of doctors and specialists, there is no shortage and workers in the sector hired under the eventual regime are basified.
