Within the field of health there is a distinctive feature that cannot be lacking and that is the uniform. These are not only clothes that provide identity but also protection against the pathogens that abound in hospitals. With this in mind, a A nurse from the Mexican Institute of Social Security (IMSS) used her social networks to “unbox” the package she received at her workplace.
The Institute with the most health personnel in Mexico
In the first instance, it should be noted that the IMSS is the highest representative of public health in our country. To date it has more than 60 million beneficiaries, which is equivalent to almost half of the total population of Mexico.
It was founded on January 19, 1943, although the foundations were laid since the development of the Mexican Revolution. Therefore, it has 80 years of experience and has witnessed the most relevant events of the modern era. He has also managed to overcome all kinds of adversities, from wars and pandemics to natural disasters such as earthquakes.
For its part, to provide a service to so many patients requires an equally large work team. The Institute has 500 thousand workers which are distributed in seven National Medical Centers that group 25 High Specialty Medical Units (UMAE), 251 Hospitals and 1,526 Family Medicine Units. Also 123 Social Security Centers, five Centers and 41 Medical, Biomedical, Epidemiological and Health Services Research Units; 12 sports units, 38 theaters, 60 stores, 18 wakes, 1,323 day care centers and four Vacation Centers.
IMSS nurse “shows off” the uniform received at her hospital
Now, it is time to talk about a worker of the Institution who has obtained notoriety for a video. her name is Kenya Gorozave and resides in Los Cabos. Through her social networks, she shares what his personal and professional life is like, but always in a pleasant and pleasant way.
For her part, through her profile on TikTok the nurse did an “unboxing” with the uniform she received from the IMSS. Everything starts from the footwear that is completely white. In a sincere way, he mentions that it has some flaws such as discolored parts and others in which there is excess glue. Although in the end he admits that these are not serious aspects.
Regarding comfort, it indicates that they are not unpleasant but they do not compare with the Nike Air Pulse launched a few years ago and which were created especially for health professionals.

As part of the rest of the uniform, he also received stockings and a cap that is always the central element, although according to his opinion, the material is not optimal because it feels flimsy. He even compares her to one of the Institute of Security and Social Services for State Workers (ISSSTE) which is also completely white but of a higher quality.
About the pants and the Filipina mentions that they are nice even though the uniform they gave her is not her size. In any case, the greatest virtue of the garments is that they are made of a thick fabric and in the cold season they will be very useful.
In the end, the IMSS nurse concludes that the uniform they gave her is not bad, but it could have been better. She also mentions that she would have preferred to be given vouchers to be able to buy all her clothes tailored to her instead of the ones she received at her hospital.
