PROGRAM #10874 12:00 PM PT

Mexico Edition. 

For the first time in Mexico’s history, the public health system has recognized Indigenous traditional medicine, and the federal government has approved the first Indigenous traditional clinic within the IMSS Bienestar hospital in Vícam, in the Yaqui Nation. What is the scope and impact of this measure? In other news, Mexico’s Supreme Court has ordered the translation of a state gender violence law into the Zapotec language. This ruling opens the door to similar measures in other states. Analysts discuss these and other developments.
