Day 684 — Sheinbaum Closes Tamaulipas Tour Inaugurating Ciudad Madero's IMSS-Bienestar Hospital, 32nd Nationwide

On August 16, 2026 (Day 684, Sunday), President Sheinbaum closed her weekend Tamaulipas work tour by inaugurating the Hospital General del IMSS-Bienestar 'Heriberto Espinosa Rosales' in Ciudad Madero — a project that broke ground in 2015, sat unfinished for years, and resumed construction in 2023 before being folded into the IMSS-Bienestar federalization drive. The hospital represents an investment exceeding 1 billion pesos and will serve roughly 538,000 residents without social security, with 179 beds, 20 consultation rooms, 5 operating rooms, and 20 medical specialties. Sheinbaum said 'somos necios, vamos a recuperar el derecho a la salud,' framing it as the 32nd hospital her administration has inaugurated nationwide across IMSS-Bienestar, IMSS, and ISSSTE.
