In 2020 there were 3,092,998 workers assigned to the ISSSTE.
The ISSSTE was inaugurated on December 30, 1959.
In 2018, the number of pensioners that appeared in the ISSSTE records was close to 1.2 million people.
Hospital Clinic “Dr. Patricio Trueba de Regil” of the Institute of Security and Social Services of State Workers (Issste) in Campeche left several older adult beneficiaries suffering from chronic-degenerative diseases without medication, and “on a whim” he suspended their appointments without prior notice.
What is ISSSTE and how does it work?
The Institute of Social Security and Services for State Workers (ISSSTE), is an organization that belongs to the Mexican government whose main function is to manage all tasks related to health care and social security for all federal government workers.
Among the obligations of the institution is to safeguard the health of the affiliates and must provide the health service by dispensing medication prescriptions, carrying out studies and surgical procedures. The beneficiaries can enjoy different benefits that they have by being affiliated with the ISSSTE such as health insurance, benefits and personal loans.
Rights holders in Campeche demonstrated this Thursday outside the “Dr. Patricio Trueba de Regil”, fed up with the mistreatment they receive from the ISSSTE medical and administrative staff.
They requested the intervention of Governor Layda Elena Sansores to support them and pressure the ISSSTE to comply with its obligations to supply the medicines in a timely manner to the beneficiaries.
