“We bring social justice to the south and hope to families. We are a humanist government, where human beings are the priority in every decision we make.”

“That is what the New Agreement for the Well-being and Development of Quintana Roo is about: closing inequality gaps and ensuring prosperity reaches every home,” she reiterated.

During the La Voz del Pueblo program, Governor Mara Lezama invited the population to visit the 173 health centers to get vaccinated during this winter season, as well as against tuberculosis, for which more than 32,000 doses are available.
