Hello friend! I work in the health sector, and this is an interesting question to me.

It's also very interesting that your President promised you that. But I'm afraid it's not very realistic, but mind you I don't know much about Mexican politics or economy.

So our main hospital in the capital city "Rigshospitalet" which means The Kingdom's Hospital, is ranked nr. 15 out of 2000 hospitals in 25 countries according to Newsweek.. The Hospital in Aarhus ranks nr 32. Ranks 101-200 are ranked equally for some reason, but we have 2 hospitals in there, so 4 hospitals out of the 200 best. (They looked at 2000 hospitals and ranked the top 200) Pretty good for a nation of only 5,5 million people.

As for the pharmacies, if you need expensive medicine, the state will pay for some of it. Actually the more expensive, the more will be paid for you. This is kinda hard to explain, maybe google can translate this for you.

Then there's "serviceloven" (The Service Law). This means that, for example, if you're so old or handicapped that you can't clean your own home, or cook food for yourself, the local government must send workers to your home, to help you with that. They also help by administering medicine, help with social or psychological issues, and so on. There's a whole education with two levels were you can become specialised in this, called SOSU (social and health assistant). It's kind of like a nurse, but less specialised in health, but more well rounded. You often see these people driving around, there are thousands and thousands of them.

I don't have any more time right now, there are surely many more interesting details. If anyone wants to continue this text, please do.

Thanks for reading, have a nice weekend everyone 😊
