The municipal official reported that they do have the medication in stock, they deliver it at no cost to the patients, without forgetting that efforts are also being made for support in terms of ultrasound or x-rays at the “Margarita Maza de Juárez” Municipal Hospital. ”

“Fortunately, we have the opportunity to feel well endowed with the medicines that the community gives us, the medicines that they (the citizens) get in some way, through IMSS, ISSSTE, and Health Centers, and for some reason they no longer use them, the only thing we tell them is to check the expiration date,” he explained.
