This has been possible, he explained, because there has been a record number of job creation over this sexennium and, with 4 million jobs, the contributions made by these workers from the formal sector strengthen the income of the institution.

"Before, the numbers did not allow or did not give the viability to the investment that the institute had to make to extend its infrastructure, and in six years it was possible to reverse this adverse scenario" , did he declare.

He said that healthy finances have enabled the construction of 12 hospitals, 40 family medicine units and 10 breast clinics, and have been expanded by 10 million as well as the number of beneficiaries served, totaling 80 million.

"Thanks to financial discipline, a financial surplus of over 21 billion pesos was generated from 2016 to 2018," their income was greater than their expenses and, I repeat, viability is guaranteed at least 2030 "he says

The Tuffic Miguel Ortega, in his report to the Assembly, pointed out that "at the end of the administration," we delivered a different IMSS, which is now moving resolutely towards the 39; future. "

At the beginning of the six-year period, "the rescue seemed imminent", the digitization had not yet arrived, the infrastructure was stagnant and this resulted in low attention and complaints.
