Quintana Roo Opens Registration for Free Medical Devices in 2026 Federal Aid Campaign

Chetumal, Quintana Roo — The Quintana Roo government has opened registration for the 2026 Federal Aid Campaign, a program providing free medical devices and functional aids to vulnerable residents. The initiative aims to improve quality of life through distribution of items including prescription glasses, hearing aids, wheelchairs, and prosthetics.

The program is managed by the Administration of the Public Charity Patrimony of Quintana Roo with state government support. Officials announced that document submission will remain open until March 17, 2026, and encouraged interested residents to prepare their applications promptly.

The campaign focuses on improving mobility, hearing, and vision for beneficiaries. Available devices include:

• Bifocal or monofocal prescription glasses for vision problems
• Hearing aids for patients with partial hearing loss
• Wheelchairs and functional supports like walkers and canes for limited mobility
• External breast prostheses and orthopedic bras for women who have faced cancer treatment

The program seeks to expand access to these devices for residents without sufficient resources to purchase them independently.

• Valid official identification (INE)
• Updated CURP (Unique Population Registry Code)
• Recent proof of address (not older than three months)
• Mandatory 2026 medical prescription for those requesting wheelchairs, breast prostheses, or hearing aids
