- Abstract
The Institute for Health for Well-being (INSABI according to its initials in Spanish), in collaboration with the National Institute of Medical Sciences and Nutrition Salvador Zubirán (INCMNSZ), instituted the Continuous Training on clinical management "Mexico against COVID-19" in 2020, with the purpose of training the frontline health personnel in the care for patients with COVID-19 in the context of hospital reconversion through the COVIDUTI platform. Virtual conferences were held for medical personnel from all over the country with the possibility of interacting with various specialists. In 2020, 215 sessions were held and 158 in 2021. That year educational content was expanded and included topics for other health categories, such as nursing and social work. In October 2021, it was established the Health Educational System for Well-being (SIESABI), with the aim of promoting continuous and permanent education for health workers. It currently offers face-to-face and virtual courses, permanent seminars, and telementoring, with the possibility of providing academic follow-up to its subscribers and linking priority courses that are on other platforms. The educational platform is an opportunity to unify the efforts of the health system in Mexico in the continuous and permanent education of professionals who care for people without social security and thereby contribute to the implementation of a model of care based on primary health care (PHC)., (© 2023 Revista Médica del Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social.)
