The “Medical 24/7” program, provides the Yucatecans with complementary medical care, off working hours, in Health Centers or public clinics within the state.
This project seeks to resolve the situation that prevails in many municipalities of the state where there are no 24-hour medical services, much less on weekends. And now with this scheme, the Yucatecan citizens will be able to access health services when the Community Health Centers are closed.
The care modules will be enabled with medications, healing material, medical and computer equipment, to provide timely and quality service.
