translated from Spanish: Choose “abbreviated” Drug providers

The federal government will launch this Wednesday the tender for the purchase of drugs for seven dependencies and the Popular insurance of 25 states, for the second semester of 2019.
The tender will be open international and the decision will be given on June 20.
The institutions to which the medicines will be provided are: IMSS, ISSSTE, Marine, Pemex and Social prevention and rehabilitation, of the Ministry of Security and Citizen protection. The federal entities (25) will participate through the Popular insurance. There may be joint proposals from more than one laboratory in order to cover the total of a key. But there will be no simultaneous supply scheme.
