Hello, yes, in Mexico City can give you free medicine, you need to go to clinic ( IMSS or Secretaría de salud) for doing your record and they give you the free medicine.

In Mexico it's possible to receive treatment and follow-up for TB, ask which health center is closest to your home and go to the epidemiology area to do a case study and start treatment. Greetings.


I am very sorry that your children have contracted the disease. Fortunately, the Secretary of Health does provide these medications for free. You need to demonstrate that they have a diagnosis of the disease at your health center and they begin the process for the administration of medications. I hope this information will be useful.
