“A feat! There are some who do not agree with the fourth transformation that is impossible for them to recognize this result,” he said when heading the inauguration of the Family Medicine Unit No. 93 of the IMSS in Ecatepec, State of Mexico.
Sheinbaum said that between 2006 and 2012 the richest percentage of the population earned 38 times the income of the poorest; Now, he stressed, this social income difference was reduced to 14 times. “That is, wealth was distributed,” he said from the National Household Revenue and Expenses Survey (ENIGH), made by INEGI.
The president attributed the results to four main actions: the increase in the minimum wage to double; The social programs that reach around 30 million families, the recovery of public investment with trains, ports and refineries, as well as private investment that allows a job record in the country and the elimination of outsourcing.
“Before resources were allocated for a few, today resources are allocated thinking about those who have less.
“We are going to continue increasing the minimum wage until it reaches for 2.5 basic baskets because today it still reaches 1.8 basic baskets,” he said.
Governor Delfina Gómez said that the Family Medicine Unit No. 93 of the IMSS in Ecatepec replaces what should have been demolished by the damages recorded in the September 2017 earthquake and will serve 352,000 people.
There is also a joint investment of 12,438 million pesos for the next construction of four new hospitals: Ecological Hospital of Ecatepec, General Zone Hospital in Chimalhuacán, in Nezahualcóyotl and Zona in Chicoloapan.
Six family medicine units are added in the municipalities of Ixtapaluca, Valle de Chalco, Tlalnepantla, Chalco and Texcoco, as well as 10 new centers for child care and development, eight hemodialysis rooms and a program to renew the network of clinics and hospitals of the East of the State of Mexico.
