The doctor, Karla Guadalupe López López, head of the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS) in Jalisco, highlighted all the actions that have been done for almost two years and three months since the COVID pandemic, at the 10th ordinary meeting of the Council of Industrial Chambers of Jalisco (CCIJ).
During López’s participation, López stated that During the most intense phase of the health crisis, 1,758 beds were converted in what was called Operation Minerva.
The official recognized that Jalisco represents about 10% of the productivity of the IMSS at the national level, granting on a typical day 38 thousand 394 consultations and 244 surgical interventions.
On the other hand, the state head of the Institute stressed that in the days of continuity of services on weekends during 2021, six million 273 thousand 595 Family Medicine consultations and 987 thousand 909 specialty consultations were granted, in addition, 77 thousand 599 surgical interventions.
In this sense, as of May 2022, two million 697 thousand 216 Family Medicine consultations and 589 thousand 273 specialty consultations have been granted, as well as 36 thousand 882 surgeries, in the sessions that take place on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

And they also have another five additional projects registered in the investment portfolio, for the remodeling of different units and the construction of a Family Medicine Unit (FMU) in Tlajomulco.
It culminated with a presentation on the Safe and Healthy Work Environments program (ELSSA), which seeks to prevent work risks in companies and improving the quality of life of workers, where the presence of the industrial business community was used to send an invitation to join said national project.
