Overview
- Doctors at the Hospital Infantil de México say a lack of supplies, including anesthetics, has forced cancellations and reprogramming of pediatric surgeries.
- Clinicians report the hospital's anesthesia service has been reduced by about 50 percent, affecting surgical capacity.
- Hospital authorities acknowledge reprogramming but say changes stem from medical indications and the prioritization of urgent cases rather than shortages.
- Journalists reported that President Claudia Sheinbaum received the appeal from surgeons and that their request was channeled for follow-up.
- The dispute over causes remains unresolved in public statements, with frontline accounts contrasting with the institution's official explanation.
