In May 2020, in the context of the pandemic, the parliamentary group of the Green Ecologist Party (PVEM), in the Chamber of Deputies, proposed promoting remote medical care as an alternative in the face of the health emergency.

On the other hand, in the Senate, in October, Senator Alejandra Reynoso Sánchez presented a proposal to urge the Ministry of Health to present reports on the actions carried out by the National Center of Technological Excellence in Health (CENETEC). CENETEC is one of the main institutions in charge of promoting and disseminating telehealth at the Federal level through the Telehealth Observatory: https://cenetec-difusion.com/observatoriotelesalud/.

Also in October last year, the document " Digital health, the legal and regulatory framework in Mexico. Advances and challenges", written by Congressman Éctor Jaime Ramírez and Carlos Arias Guzmán. In this document they conclude the following about the implementation of digital health services: "Developing and strengthening the legal and regulatory framework for the operation of Digital Health components, will allow to take advantage of technologies in the development of strategies to promote the portability of health systems and services for the patient, that is, the possibility of receiving care where required and that clinical information is available for their care".

Finally, CENETEC published the actions carried out regarding Telehealth in Mexico during 2020 (January-November). Available at the following link: https://cenetec-difusion.com/observatoriotelesalud/acciones-de-telesalud-en-mexico-2020/

In addition, the catalog of telehealth services was also updated, the first edition of which was published in 2017 available here: https://cenetec-difusion.com/observatoriotelesalud/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Cat%C3%A1logoserviciosportelesalud.-ver.1.7.pdf
