The Credencial de Salud is Mexico's official health identification initiative designed to improve access to medical services for all citizens, regardless of their social security status. This innovative program is part of the Servicio Universal de Salud (SUS), which aims to connect various public healthcare institutions and create a cohesive network for medical care. With the Credencial de Salud, individuals can receive medical attention in clinics and hospitals throughout the country starting in 2027, ensuring that everyone can access necessary healthcare.

The SUS features a network of over 12,750 health consultorios focused on common illnesses, chronic condition management, and the distribution of free medications. Additionally, it includes 6,567 Farmacias del Bienestar, which provide essential medications, particularly for seniors as part of the Salud Casa por Casa program. The initiative not only empowers healthcare professionals to contribute to primary care but also enhances the overall wellbeing of the population by promoting universal healthcare access.
