ISSSTE Doctors Protest in La Paz, BCS; Reject Accusations Over COVID-19 Patient's Death

Medical professionals at the ISSSTE in La Paz, Baja California Sur, staged a protest to vehemently deny accusations surrounding the death of a COVID-19 patient. The doctors are challenging the narrative and seeking to clear their names amidst a sensitive investigation.

Central to their protest is the assertion of a potential conflict of interest within the ongoing inquiry. The medical staff pointed to the fact that a family member of the patient who died had previously held the significant position of chief prosecutor for the FGR (Fiscalía General de la República).

This connection, they argue, could compromise the impartiality of the investigation into the patient's death. The doctors' demonstration aims to draw attention to their concerns and advocate for a fair and unbiased review of the circumstances, emphasizing their commitment to patient care while facing serious allegations.
