Nadine Gasman, Mexico City’s Secretary of Health, stated that the Center for Regulation of Medical Emergencies (CRUM) provides an average of 3,900 medical responses each month in Mexico City.
The CRUM recently celebrated its 25th anniversary as a key component of the city’s prehospital care system. Gasman explained that the city’s large population and density require fast-acting emergency services to reach people needing immediate medical attention.
Between August 2025 and August 2026, CRUM delivered 31,000 services with support from the Rescue and Medical Emergency Squad (ERUM) and the Red Cross. During the FIFA World Cup, CRUM personnel provided 3,600 medical responses while under international observation. Gasman pledged to improve working conditions for CRUM staff and strengthen coordination between health institutions. Mario Andrés Moya Méndez, Executive Director of Emergencies and Prehospital Care, also called for better teamwork among emergency responders.
The celebration included a tribute to CRUM workers who died during the Covid-19 pandemic.
