Subtitle: Aitana Betzabé Domínguez’s death raises concerns over maintenance and healthcare provision
Date: [Current Date]
In a heart-wrenching incident that unfolded on Tuesday, a 6-year-old girl lost her life due to a hospital elevator malfunction in Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo, Mexico. Aitana Betzabé Domínguez was being transferred on a stretcher for admission at the General Hospital of the Zone of the Mexican Institute of Social Security (IMSS) No. 18 when the devastating mishap occurred.
Eyewitnesses recounted the horrific scene, stating that the little girl was crushed from the waist down as the elevator abruptly moved before the stretcher could fully enter. Despite efforts by hospital authorities, who took over half an hour to request help from emergency services and the police, Aitana tragically succumbed to her injuries.
Disturbingly, several employees at the hospital had previously lodged complaints regarding the malfunctioning elevator, highlighting the urgent need for maintenance. Workers communicated to the Noticaribe portal that the elevator’s sensor had been problematic, suggesting that this tragedy was not an isolated incident.
In response to the incident, IMSS expressed its deepest condolences for the loss of the young girl. The institute assured the public that Aitana had been receiving adequate care for her medical condition. However, an investigation into the incident is underway, with hospital authorities cooperating fully to ensure transparency.
IMSS shifted responsibility regarding maintenance, clarifying that the service was outsourced to an external company. This revelation has sparked further questions regarding the subcontracting of crucial services and potential negligence on the part of both the hospital and the maintenance provider.
Meanwhile, Aitana’s grieving parents, Patricio Domínguez and Deimy Castillo, have vehemently refuted IMSS’s claims about adequate attention provided to their daughter. Expressing concern over their financial limitations, they fear that justice may elude them without the means to hire a lawyer.
Authorities from the State Attorney General’s Office have stepped in, declaring that the minor was pronounced dead at the scene, prompting their immediate investigation into the incident.
This tragic event has triggered a wave of criticism aimed at Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador. Critics argue that the government’s austerity policies, which extend to the healthcare sector, have contributed to shortages of essential medical supplies and neglect in maintaining public hospital facilities. President López Obrador had previously promised to establish a world-class healthcare system reminiscent of Denmark or Canada.
As the investigation unfolds, it is hoped that justice will be served for Aitana Betzabé Domínguez and that this heartbreaking incident will force a comprehensive examination of Mexico’s healthcare system, ensuring that such tragedies are prevented in the future.
