Social Council of Municipal Health
The Social Council of Municipal Health is a space implemented with the aim of creating agreements and reaching consensus between the Vigilance Committee, representatives of local health committees, and other social organizations at the municipal level. The councils are in charge of presenting the needs and proposals of the local health committees to the municipal government, and ensuring that the Municipal Health Plan is considered within the Municipal Development Plan. They also promote the implementation of processes of articulation and complementarity between traditional indigenous medicine and western biomedicine. Furthermore, they are in charge of monitoring the condition of infrastructure, the availability of equipment and supplies, the allocation of resources and the execution of health projects, among others.
