Abstract
In Veracruz, Mexico, various populations encounter vulnerability due to multiple risk factors. Notably, limited access to information and education exacerbates these risks, increasing potential future complications. In response, we have focused our efforts on educating the community about essential health practices, such as basic postoperative care, proper wound management, early signs of infection recognition, and effective preventative measures.
