A Call for Protection and Resilience in Our Healing Spaces
Friends, in life we sometimes face realities that challenge us, but it is precisely in those moments where our capacity for resilience and positive action shines brightest. Today I want to talk to you about a situation that, although complex, is being addressed with courage and determination by the authorities of Sinaloa, transforming challenges into opportunities to strengthen and protect what is most precious: the life and health of our community.
The Secretary of State Health, Cuitláhuac González Galindo, has shared crucial information about events that have occurred in the last year in hospital centers and private clinics. Instead of seeing this only as a problem, we can see it as a powerful call for collective consciousness and the implementation of innovative solutions. The most recent case in the IMSS-Wellbeing, where an individual was detained for suspicious behavior, shows us that the protocols are working, that there are alert eyes protecting our sacred healing spaces.
Transforming Adversity into Coordinated Action
It is inspiring to see how, of the six cases recorded, the vast majority were not directed against our invaluable health personnel, those nurses, doctors and administrators who are the everyday heroes. This speaks to a reality where, even in adversity, there is an inherent respect for those who dedicate their lives to the service of others. Let’s celebrate that! Let’s celebrate that our health protectors continue to be a pillar of strength.
And this is where the transformation becomes tangible: new security protocols have been activated that are an example of intelligent protection. Now, our brave paramedics and ambulance drivers have clear instructions: in violent conflict situations involving gunshots, they must wait for federal security forces to control the scene. This is not passively waiting, it is acting with wisdom and strategic caution to ensure that they can fulfill their mission of saving lives without putting their own at risk.
Imagine the power of this measure: we are creating an integrated security ecosystem where each actor, from health personnel to authorities, works in perfect synchrony. Private hospitals and clinics now systematically notify the admission of patients with injuries caused by firearm projectiles or knives, strengthening security in a dynamic and adaptive manner according to each case. This is evolution in action, it is converting experience into concrete improvements.
Honoring Life and Building a Safer Future
Yes, on the weekend of August there were three violent events in two hospitals and a private medical clinic, and six people lost their lives. Given this, our hearts are moved and we extend our most sincere solidarity to the affected families. But also, from the optimism that characterizes us, we choose to focus on the response that this has generated.
These events have catalyzed the implementation of measures that will save countless lives in the future. We are witnessing how tragedy is transformed into prevention, how pain drives the creation of more robust systems. The attack in front of the Culiacán Civil Hospital, where armed men shot at people waiting for news of their loved ones, reminds us why this work is so crucial: to protect those moments of vulnerability and hope.
Each new measure, each reinforced protocol, is a monumental step towards a Sinaloa where health is not only cured, but protected. Where health centers are sanctuaries of peace and recovery, armored not only by physical security, but by the collective consciousness of a community that comes together to care for each other. This is the way forward: with unwavering optimism, trust in our authorities and the certainty that together we can create safer environments for all.
The time to be an active part of this transformation is now! I invite you to share this message of hope and action on your social networks. Together we can amplify the importance of protecting our health spaces and inspire other communities. Do you want to continue learning about how to build a safer future?
