= National Institute of Respiratory Diseases = The National Institute of Respiratory Diseases (Instituto Nacional de Enfermedades Respiratorias, INER) is a medical institution, school, and scientific research facility which specializes in respiratory diseases. It is run by the Secretary of Health of Mexico, and was formed as part of the National Institutes of Health, a system of 13 biomedical research institutes seeking to provide public health services and teach the general population about health.

History
INER was inaugurated in 1936 by Lázaro Cárdenas as the Sanatorium for Tuberculosis of Huipulco. In 1969, it changed its name to the Hospital for Pulmonary Disease of Huipulco, and again in 1975, becoming the National Institute of Pulmonary Disease. Finally, on January 14 of 1982, the Official Journal of the Federation published a decree by José López Portillo giving the National Institute its current name, autonomy, and decentralization under the coordination of the Secretary of Health. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the National Institute of Respiratory Diseases was the first medical establishment in Mexico to confirm a case on the national level.
