How do we do it?
At Ixchel, we believe that health is a fundamental human right , and we work through three key strategies to make it a reality for all people in Chiapas.
Health
support
We transform the experience of those who are going through complex health processes or face barriers to accessing medical services.
Intercultural communication management
We promote the right to health based on linguistic and cultural diversity, building bridges between health systems and Indigenous communities.
Influence on public policies
We work to ensure that local health transformations are consolidated as public policies that guarantee the right to health for all people.
Learn more about our comprehensive, ethical, and culturally relevant approach to health care, supporting people on their journey toward fully exercising their right to health.
