Death at the ISSSTE in Celaya: complaint for negligence

Journalist Marco Israel Mancera made public the death of his father, Irineo Jesús Mancera, which occurred on Friday at the ISSSTE hospital in Celaya, Guanajuato. According to his story, the older adult arrived at the Emergency Department in delicate condition and remained in the waiting room for nearly three hours without receiving medical attention. Finally, he died sitting in a chair.

“My dad died waiting for attention in the emergency room and… this time I’m not going to stay silent,” Mancera wrote on his social networks.

The reporter explained that during that period his father’s health condition progressively deteriorated while he and his sister unsuccessfully requested help. According to information provided by his family, the doctor in charge of the emergency room determined that the case “was not an emergency,” so he did not receive the necessary care at that time.

His sister, who accompanied the father, reported having received “despotic and inhumane treatment by the medical staff.” Mancera added that attention came only when there was nothing more to do: “The entire Emergency Department was mobilized when my father had already died.” He also pointed out that he has witnesses from other citizens who lived similar experiences and from institution personnel who describe the public servant involved as a violent and selfish person.

Fellow journalists from various media outlets expressed their solidarity with Marco Israel and repudiated what happened. “We share your indignation and pain over the inappropriate conduct of ISSSTE personnel that resulted in the death of your father, and that reflects the most sinister face of health institutions,” said GruperronaRadio TvCelaya.

The case reopens the debate about the conditions of care in public health services in Mexico, especially in the ISSSTE, where complaints of negligence are recurrent. So far, the institution has not issued an official statement on the incident.

Stolen cargo recovered in Santa María Chiconautla

Elements of the Metropolitan Police and the Secretary of the Navy recovered a tractor-trailer box with merchandise valued at 3 million pesos.

The vehicle was located in Santa María Chiconautla, municipality of Ecatepec, after an alert from the Command Center.

The uniformed officers were carrying out prevention patrols when they received a report of a white dry box vehicle that had been stolen.

While driving along Las Torres Avenue, they found the truck parked incorrectly and apparently abandoned. They verified the plates with the Command Center, which confirmed a current theft report with a pre-report.

They requested a crane to move the vehicle, which was transporting approximately 18 tons of sugar, with an estimated value of 3 million pesos. The cargo was placed at the disposal of the Special Prosecutor’s Office for Crimes against Cargo Transportation.

To date, no arrests have been reported for this incident.

Rains collapse roads in Aguascalientes

On Saturday night and early Sunday morning, intense rains affected Aguascalientes, Jesús María and Rincón de Romo. Boulevards and avenues were flooded, vehicles were covered in water and entire families were trapped.

Rescues and attention to the population

The greatest impact occurred in the capital. Firefighters and Civil Protection worked for hours to rescue people stranded in different parts of the metropolitan area. They provided assistance to occupants of cars stuck in neighborhoods such as Parques Industrial del Valle, San Francisco de los Romo, the first ring overpass and the exit to Zacatecas.

The overflowing of some channels concentrated the water in the avenues. The State Government reported that security corporations from several municipalities maintain a coordinated operation to provide timely support.

Recommendations and road closures

During the early morning, the authorities asked to avoid driving through flooded areas and to follow official information. The Municipal Public Security Secretariat detailed that the Road Police attended to 42 stranded vehicles and carried out 18 road closures to prevent risks to drivers and pedestrians.

Municipal agents moved entire families, women and minors who could not move due to the storm and flooding to their homes.
