Over 7,000 health workers dead from coronavirus, Amnesty says
A medical worker cleans the tomograph at the General Hospital Ajusco Medio in Mexico City on August 27, 2020, amid the COVID-19 novel coronavirus pandemic.
At least 1,320 health workers are confirmed to have died from Covid-19 in Mexico, a “staggering” cost of human life, Amnesty said. Mexico, which has one of the world’s highest overall fatality tolls from the coronavirus, has kept a detailed record of health worker deaths which may partly explain its high figure, Amnesty said.
The Mexican government has recognized that the health system has suffered from decades of neglect but says it is working to improve standards.
