Overview

• Evelin García Camarillo’s death was confirmed Wednesday by her father after more than a week in intensive care at Hospital General de Tijuana.
• She was first seen at Hospital General de Tecate, then sent to the new Hospital General Zona Este, and finally transferred to Tijuana’s general hospital because Zona Este lacked intensivists.
• Health Secretary Adrián Medina Amarillas acknowledged staffing shortfalls at Zona Este and said the state needs to hire at least three intensivists to cover all shifts.
• Subsecretary Néstor Saúl Hernández Milán announced an investigation into possible omissions across the patient’s detection, diagnosis, and treatment, with a review of protocols and critical points in the care chain.
• Authorities will convene municipalities and agencies such as DIF and Bienestar, expand prevention outreach, and train first-contact clinicians, stressing a roughly four‑day window from fever onset to start doxycycline and urging prompt care in high‑risk areas.
