Cozumel, Quintana Roo — Children on Cozumel will receive free specialist medical care over two days this month, the island’s municipal government has announced.
Mayor José Luis Chacón Méndez said the event, billed as the “Jornada Extramuros” (outreach clinic), will run on Nov. 24 and 25 in coordination with DIF Cozumel, the CRIT Quintana Roo rehabilitation center and the ferry company Ultramar.
More than 15 specialist doctors will take part, offering care in pediatrics, audiology, phoniatrics, psychiatry, genetics and speech therapy, among other fields.
Diana Sosa Blanco, honorary president of DIF Cozumel and the mayor’s wife, said the clinic aims to improve children’s quality of life by pairing public institutions with the private sector.
Chacón, who presented the program alongside Sosa Blanco, said the goal is to bring specialized health services closer to families on the island and to support children’s wellbeing.
