BENITO JUAREZ, November 17.- It is very satisfactory that the sum of efforts, the government and the private initiative are translated to the benefit of Cancun citizens, assured the city's president, Mara Lezama Espinosa, during the launch

The Karisma Foundation Medical Unit and the closing of the National Diabetes Week 2018, which took place on the Plaza de la Reforma esplanade.
Mara Lezama made a tour of the modules accompanying the mobile medical unit, conducting chemical assessments and tests for the detection of chronic-degenerative diseases, especially diabetes mellitus.
This facility will offer free service and will focus especially on vulnerable people. The studies to be performed have a cost of up to five thousand pesos in private clinics, which is a great benefit for many families.
At the close of the week for preventing and fighting diabetes, the mayor said it was time to get down to work to prevent and treat this disease, whose primary precursors are overweight and obesity.
He therefore called for a healthy lifestyle, exercise, and diet. "We go to a doctor, municipal health services are at their disposal and, moreover, we take them to the regions twice a week."
At the end of the tour, he participated in the formation of the Blue Circle for the World Diabetes Day; he also welcomed the cyclists who had previously made a roll of the diabetic community, which began in the Plaza de la Reforma in Puerto Cancun; and Malecon Cancun, returned to the Plaza de la Reforma.
There were present: the general manager of municipal public health, Tomás Rangel Piza; Health Undersecretary of the Northern Territory of the State, Luis Angel Blanco Márquez; Public Health and Social Care Advisor, Maricruz Carrillo Orozco; the director of the Center for Aid for Patients with Chronic Degenerative Disorders A.C. (CAPEC), María Lilián Chagoyán; and Santiago Castillo Hernández, a young man diagnosed with type 1 diabetes.
