Mexico City Announces Major Investments in Healthcare and Transportation

The Mexican government has announced a significant investment in both healthcare and transportation, with a focus on improving public services in Mexico City.

Healthcare Investment

The government has announced a 92-billion-peso investment in healthcare facilities, with the aim of constructing and opening new public hospitals. This investment is divided across two periods: about 50 billion pesos has been allocated for the 31 hospitals expected to open by the end of 2025, and approximately 40 billion pesos is planned for 20 additional hospitals to open in 2026 and 2027 [1].

These new hospitals are being operated by major public healthcare bodies such as the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS), the Institute for Social Security and Services for State Workers (ISSSTE), and the IMSS Bienestar healthcare agency. The majority of their constructions began during the 2018-2024 administration of former president Andrés Manuel López Obrador [1].

President Claudia Sheinbaum spoke about the new public hospitals that have opened since she took office last October, as well as those that will open before the end of the year, at her Tuesday morning press conference [2]. Unfortunately, the exact list of each hospital by name and location was not included in the available search results.

In addition to the new hospitals, 256 operating rooms are being upgraded at public hospitals, with the upgrades costing around 2.5 billion pesos [3].

Transportation Investment

The Mexico City government is planning to connect the southern boroughs of Tlalpan and Coyoacán with a new Cablebús line. The construction of the Tlalpan-Coyoacán line will be done by one of two companies in the world that build cable cars of this type: Doppelmayr (an Austrian company) or Leitner (an Italian company) [4].

The new Cablebús line will run 11.4 kilometers from the Pedregal de San Nicolás neighborhood in Tlalpan to the National Autonomous University (UNAM) in Coyoacán. Once completed, the Cablebús Line 4 will be the largest urban passenger cable car line in the world [5].

The construction of the new cable car line will take at least one and a half years and cost 4.5 billion pesos (US $240 million) [6]. The government expects the new line to significantly reduce travel times for Tlalpan residents [7].
