Víctor Hugo Borja Appointed New Head.

President Claudia Sheinbaum confirmed the appointment of Víctor Hugo Borja as the new head of Cofepris, Mexico's health regulatory agency. The decision, made by Health Secretary David Kershenobich, aims to improve institutional efficiency and maintain anti-corruption efforts within the organization. While Borja has an extensive career in public health—having held senior roles at IMSS and Insabi—his track record includes past controversy regarding a non-delivered contract for COVID-19 ventilators in 2020.
