Benito Juárez DIF Brings Free Health Services to Paseo Nikté
Supermanzana 255 residents received free medical, dental and psychological consultations, legal advice and paperwork assistance during the 'DIF en tu colonia' outreach.
The Municipal DIF System of Benito Juárez took its traveling brigade "DIF en tu colonia" to the Paseo Nikté subdivision, in Supermanzana 255 of Cancún, on July 10, offering a range of free services to local families.
According to the municipal government, the outreach included general medical consultations, eye exams, dental checkups with fluoride application, psychological care and legal advice on gender-based violence. Officials also offered rapid HIV testing, guidance on disability-related paperwork and information on enrollment at CADI, the DIF's childcare centers.
The brigade also set up wellness and community activities: haircuts and personal-care services, healthy-eating talks, educational games for children, recreational mandala workshops and free bread distribution. Organizers said the services were aimed primarily at children, youth and older adults, though any family in the supermanzana could attend.
Marisol Sendo Rodríguez, general director of the Benito Juárez DIF System, said brigades like this one are meant to bring social services closer to residents. Fayne Carrillo Figueroa, director of Community Social Development, detailed the modules set up at the site.
The municipal government did not specify service hours or whether prior registration was required — a detail families interested in future brigades should keep in mind.
What it means for Cancún: "DIF en tu colonia" is part of the municipality's strategy to deliver health care, legal aid and basic paperwork directly to neighborhoods, sparing residents a trip to DIF's central offices. For families in other supermanzanas, the program offers a nearby alternative to medical or dental visits that would otherwise carry a cost or require travel.
Residents who want to know the date and location of the next brigade, or who need information about Benito Juárez DIF services, can call the municipal line at (998) 881-28-00.
