Guanajuato/Gto News

The Secretary of Health of Guanajuato in the 46 municipalities in the State registered in 2021 a total of 129,988 hospital patients, of those, 1,594 were Guanajuatenses under the health coverage of the federal IMSS and ISSSTE.

Scarce coverage

One of the most frequent reasons for patients to seek for care in State hospitals is the scarce coverage of IMSS and ISSSTE in many areas of Guanajuato, like the North East zone; where its inhabitants go for health care at hospitals of the Secretaria de Salud of Guanajuato.

The State Secretary of Health works abiding to the “universal attention and zero rejection” and it has provided care to patients of other institutions in its hospitals in Guanajuato.

Most services to patients from other institutions in 2021 were:

1,202 affiliates of the Mexican Institute of Social Security –IMSS-
392 affiliates of ISSSTE

No federal coverage

There are Municipalities of Guanajuato that don’t have medical service by IMSS, ISSSTE, SEDENA or PEMEX, but only hospitals of the Secretary of Health of Guanajuato either from some local medical unit, primary attention, general hospital, community clinic or a specialized service.
