In line with its strategic health axis focused on timely care and comprehensive care for its members, the Social Welfare and Welfare Institute for the staff of the Ministry of Education (IPASME) consolidates its operational capacity in the area of operating rooms during the first months of the year 2026.

Thanks to the provision of state-of-the-art medical supplies and the work mystique of medical and nursing staff, surgical days maintain an uninterrupted pace in the country's various medical units, according to a press release from the institution.

Namely, management has focused with special emphasis on the resolution of medium and high complexity pathologies, positively impacting the daily lives of working families.

Another of the fundamental pillars of this deployment is the Ophthalmological Surgical Plan, which records a significant number of operated patients. Cataract surgery, pterygium surgery and the application of intraocular lenses have restored visual health to hundreds of teachers and retirees, thanks to the use of cutting-edge technology and specialists dedicated to a speedy recovery.

At the same time, for the protection of the homeland's hotbed, the Pediatric Surgical Plan is being successfully implemented. Interventions range from inguinal and umbilical hernia corrections to minor procedures. With a profoundly humanistic approach, this program ensures that the children of workers receive warm care, safe anesthetic protocols, and rigorous post-operative follow-up. In addition, the Institute's operating rooms maintain an active agenda in the specialties of Gynecology —with scheduled operations and sterilization days— and General Surgery.
