According to the UNFPA, more than 7.3 million births take place each year.
The teenager gave birth around 6 a.m. outside the Tapachula General Hospital in Chiapas.
In social networks, I post a viral video where you can see a teenager who has given birth outside a hospital located in Chiapas. The video was taken by the relatives of the minor and spread on social networks, the authorities have already initiated an investigation process for possible medical negligence.
According to what was reported on social networks by the Chiapas Ministry of Health, On November 11, the adolescent identified as Araceli “N”, only 14 years old, went to the Tapachula General Hospital in Chiapas overnight for a medical evaluation.
According to the Secretariat’s statement, around 6:00 a.m. on Saturday, November 12, the adolescent gave birth outside the facilities of the Tapachula General Hospital in Chiapas without any safety care protocol for the patient or the baby. The young mother’s baby died moments after being born.
“Because of the foregoing, the Ministry of Health instructed to initiate the investigations in accordance with current regulations to delimit the responsibility of the medical personnel of the Tapachula General Hospital, guaranteeing that they will act in strict accordance with the legal framework to clarify the events that occurred and apply the sanctions corresponding to those that would take place ”, is mentioned in the statement.
In this regard, the hospital has not provided more detailed information about the event, they only shared the same statement from the Ministry of Health on their social networks.
In the video that has gone viral, we can see a teenager on the ground screaming in pain while her relatives try to cover part of her body with a blanket. The man who was recording the video approaches the hospital door to intercept someone from the health personnel who was on his way to attend to the teenager.
However, when she realized that she was being recorded, she conditioned the assistance to the patient in the event that they continue with the recording.
