Abstract
I will present a general view of the events that took place in Mexico City on September 19th, 1985. I will make reference, in the first place, to certain facts related with the subject, then I will describe the general damage to health and to the health services, and finally I will give information about the action taken in the area of epidemiological surveillance. The information in this work was generated through a committee formed by different health institutions and in which I participated. This organization was responsible for the health services and the epidemiological surveillance during the events of September 1985.Keywords
