Eight doctors from the Faculty of General Medicine have died of Covid-19 – El Sol de Tijuana

Tijuana: Yesenia Espinosa, president of that college, said at least eight doctors from Baja California’s College of General Medicine have died of coronavirus since the pandemic began.

We must remember that the health sector received low-quality materials, and here they had a different situation because schools and private initiatives brought good protective equipment ‘ added the doctor.

Espinosa noted that during the state’s previous government administration, it was necessary for private doctors to march to demand the implementation of their Covid-19 vaccine.

“We private sector doctors marched so that they could apply vaccines to us, because they did not vaccinate us, there were many deaths, private doctors died, because we continue to treat patients with Covid-19 who did not go to health centers because they were afraid that they would get sick Plus. They gave us the first dose on March 27.”
