Overview
- Registration is underway at 2,136 in‑person modules in 24 states and is open through November 14, 2026 using a surname‑based calendar; printed credentials are issued about four to six weeks after registration.
- The first phase covers adults 65 and over plus people with disabilities, with authorities targeting roughly 2.5 million new beneficiaries a month as the program scales toward its January 1, 2027 start date.
- Salud Casa por Casa staff — about 20,000 health workers who have completed roughly 18.4 million home visits — will begin prescribing from a confirmed 22‑medicine list during visits.
- Medicines will be supplied free through a mixed distribution system that uses rural Alimentación para el Bienestar stores, urban automated dispensers and an authorized pharmacy network to avoid stock gaps.
- A single digital medical record and an official mobile app with appointment booking, telemedicine and AI follow‑up are planned to let doctors at any public system see patient histories and maintain continuity of care.
