State launches new service machine
State officials launched Wednesday a new machine at a shopping mall that will provide customers with birth certificates.
Governor Francisco Vega opened the new equipment at plaza cachanilla along with First Lady Brenda Ruacho.
By the end of the year the state will sum 42 of these machines, of which nine will be installed in Mexicali, authorities said.
Similar machines are already installed at the state building and Plaza Nuevo Mexicali, among other sites.
In two weeks residents will be able to access other services, including water bill payments, Gov. Vega said.
Secretary of Government Francisco Rueda said the machines can access 150 million birth certificates, which cost $8 for state born residents and $16 for those born outside of the state.
New medical service program proposed
A state lawmaker made a request to the state secretary of public health to launch a program to provide services to patients at their own homes.
The “Doctor at Home” project would focus on patients who are not able to go to clinics or hospitals due to their medical conditions, said proponent Assemblywoman Rocío López Gorosave.
The program would include doctors, psychologists, social workers, nurses and dentists to educate and serve patients in issues like diabetes, hypertension, obesity, overweight and prenatal control, as well as to bring food to patients, the lawmaker said.
A similar program was launched in Mexico City during the fall of 2015, López Gorosave said.
