This follows a video showing Ramos Alor confronting medical residents who were protesting chronic shortages of medications, surgical supplies, and equipment. During the confrontation, Ramos Alor reportedly told residents, “If you don't want to operate, then don't operate,” and suggested their academic evaluations could be impacted. Ramos Alor has since issued a public apology, and IMSS-Bienestar has announced corrective measures to reinforce the delivery of medical materials. In Honduras, the Secretary of Health has removed Dr. Juan Carlos Argueta from his role as director of the Hospital Mario Catarino Rivas. The dismissal follows Argueta’s recent appearance before the National Congress, where he requested increased budgetary support to manage high patient demand and shortages of equipment and specialists.
