Hospital General de México faces Salmonella outbreak among medical residents
A Salmonella outbreak at the Hospital General de México Dr. Eduardo Liceaga has affected medical staff, prompting protests and national health reviews. The hospital identified an acute infectious gastroenteritis outbreak linked to food from a subcontracted dining service, with laboratory tests confirming the presence of Salmonella spp.
While health authorities initially reported 135 affected resident and high-specialty physicians, some medical professionals claim the infection count has reached 227 people, resulting in 67 hospitalizations and 15 intensive care cases. Residents have staged protests and road blockades to demand investigations into the contamination source and better working conditions.
In response, Mexico's Secretary of Health, David Kershenobich, has ordered a comprehensive review of food service hygiene and sanitary conditions across the entire national public health system. Additionally, the Ministry of Anticorruption and Good Governance has launched an investigation to determine potential administrative responsibilities regarding the outbreak.
