President Claudia Sheinbaum addressed the upcoming Universal Health Service and the issuance of healthcare cards during a Tuesday morning press conference. The cards, currently limited to seniors, include individuals' Unique Population Registry Code (CURP) and will be linked to their medical files with consent. This allows for the standardization of healthcare services across different institutions. Sheinbaum stated that the cards will be gradually expanded to the entire population starting January 1, 2027.

Sheinbaum also discussed the Salud Casa por Casa program, which has provided over 27 million free home consultations since June 2025. The program primarily serves seniors and people with disabilities, offering first, second, and third visit consultations. Minister Leticia Ramírez highlighted that the program is more than just isolated medical consultations; it provides accompaniment, follow-up, and prevention, benefiting families and neighbors.
