There are innumerable adversities that health professionals must face. From the training part they are obliged to comply with days that reach 36 continuous hours. Therefore, physical and emotional fatigue is a constant throughout the guild. But in addition, another quite worrying aspect must be added, and that is the violence that affects the entire population, such as the recent case of the murder of a nurse.
Description of what happened
Based on what was published by different media, Karina Napoles Roldán was last seen on March 11. She worked as a nurse at the Tláhuac General Hospital. In fact, his work during the last two years was fundamental because he treated the Covid-19 patients who were admitted to the hospital. She never hesitated to risk her integrity to protect others.
What is known is that he was at his home in the Milpa Alta mayor’s office when he disappeared. After not having reports of his whereabouts, a strong concern began among his family and colleagues. An attempt was immediately made to locate the 36-year-old worker by various means, but without success.
Due to all of the above, on March 15, his relatives went to the Mexico City Attorney General’s Office to report the incident. Disappointingly, it is mentioned that there was no interest on the part of the authorities. He even “advised” himself to wait even more days to start an investigation.
For its part, this March 18 it was announced that it was identified the lifeless body of the woman. No further details have been given about the cause of the nurse’s death, but it is assured that it was a murder.
Found lifeless. Seriously, stop, go to therapy, heal your problems and stop doing so much damage. The stupid man took a good nurse from the general hospital in Tlahuac, how many more valuable women are they going to take away? https://t.co/9JiGxCwmU5

This situation has immediately generated strong anger among the other hospital workers. Elements of feminist groups have also joined to demand a real investigation and find the whereabouts of the person responsible.
Similarly, it has been requested reclassify the crime so that it is classified as femicide. This situation reminds us that currently 10 women are murdered a day in our country. It is one of the most shameful figures that exist and the worst thing is that there have been no changes over the years. So far, security is one of the pending issues of the current administration.
For their part, the victim’s relatives mention that the young woman’s husband is the main suspect. Although the truth is that so far there have been no detainees and that is why justice is demanded so that the case does not become one more number without receiving a solution.
However, although all are exposed to being victims of violence, within the health union there have been fatal cases recently. It is also a problem that has spread throughout the national territory.
Recent cases that have been reported
On September 2, we informed you of the murder of a neurosurgeon while driving his BMW car through the streets of Mexico City. The crime occurred in broad daylight and on one of the busiest avenues in the capital.
For its part, on September 9 there was a murder in Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua. The victim was Dr. Sergio Eduardo Espejo Guasco, who was traveling in his Mercedes Benz vehicle.
In all the cases mentioned, firearms were used and the motive for each crime is still unclear. But while it used to be believed that it was dangerous to be a health professional in rural areas, it is now shown that it is a high-risk profession in any part of the country.
