The government of Baja California, led by Governor Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda, has provided 1,135,839 free healthcare services in priority areas across the state as part of its poverty alleviation strategy. This initiative, carried out through the Mobile Health Centers program, ensures access to healthcare for the most vulnerable population.
“We are keeping our promise to our people. Now, we provide dignified access to healthcare—including diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up—at no cost in remote communities across the state, places where medical attention was once nearly impossible to obtain. This is how we fight inequality gaps in Baja California,” the governor underscored.
She noted that these mobile units, also known as Health Caravans and operated by the Secretariat of Health, led by Adrián Medina Amarillas, have carried out over 600,000 medical consultations, distributed 346,125 free medications, and performed 101,274 lab tests using cutting-edge technology, serving 150 communities throughout the state.
Additionally, the program has provided: 206,000 dental consultations, 14,000 mammograms, 34,449 ultrasounds, 36,844 electrocardiograms, 41,726 optometry procedures, and many other free healthcare services for several conditions.
The mobile units also offer mental health support, having delivered 10,314 interventions so far, along with referrals to specialized centers in the state.
Governor Ávila Olmeda highlighted that people with disabilities and seniors have received assistance through 6,000 functional aid deliveries, including wheelchairs, walking canes, hearing aids, eyeglasses, and diagnostic consultations for cataract surgeries.
This week, the Mobile Health Caravans were deployed in Mexicali, San Quintín, and Playas de Rosarito.
