- Health professionals not only face adversity within their work but also outside of hospitals.
- On average, 10 femicides are recorded per day in Mexico.
- The nurse remained kidnapped for a month until her lifeless body was found.
Violence remains one of the greatest concerns of all Mexicans. Despite the promises of all the rulers, no real changes are observed. New politicians arrive but none have been able to solve a problem that affects everyone equally. In fact, a recent case of a kidnapped nurse It did not have a fortuitous outcome and it is the clearest sign that much remains to be done.
In that sense, violence against health professionals is becoming more frequent. It is not only about the risks inside the practice but also outside. Reports of attacks and aggressions that occur in any space are becoming more and more frequent.
For their part, the femicides have also shown an upward trend throughout the national territory. To date, it is estimated that 10 are produced every day, which demonstrates that the simple fact of being a woman in Mexico is a high-risk activity.
Story of what happened
All of the above leads us to what happened with a kidnapped nurse in Amozoc de Mota, Puebla. Based on the report, last April 27 was the last day that her relatives had contact with the 32-year-old girl.
After a couple of days of his disappearance, the authorities were notified. From then on he began an intense search in all the surrounding areas. Even his relatives published images on social networks to find his whereabouts.
From the investigation, video was obtained from a street security camera where the moment of the incident can be seen. The images show that several men forced her into a vehicle to deprive her of her freedom.

Despite having the evidence, the really important thing was to find the kidnapped nurse. Despite all the efforts, the mission was not achieved until today, but unfortunately it did not go the way it was wanted.
Almost a month after it was “lifted” the lifeless body of the nurse. He was in the cistern of an abandoned house and based on the forensic team he shows multiple signs of violence.
This situation has generated strong indignation. On the one hand, health professionals raised their voices and pointed out that it is not possible for this type of situation to occur. A person who is only dedicated to caring for the integrity of patients was the victim of a fatal attack.
On the other hand, this case of the kidnapped nurse raises the alarm again regarding the violence against women that occurs throughout the country. The memory of what happened to Debanhi Susana, 18, in Nuevo León, is still fresh, and now another quite similar case has been recorded.
