The Sanatorio Trinidad, located in the Roma colony in Mexico City, continues to operate clandestinely, despite a call in the Chamber of Deputies for authorities to act with greater rigor against violations of health regulations that endanger the lives of patients and labor rights of 250 former workers. The workers' spokesperson, Joel Hernández Reyes, highlighted that the medical facility is on Cofepris's 'blacklist' for non-compliance with health standards. He added that under the current administration led by Adriana Beltrán Mayén, nearly ten patients have died in the sanatorium over the last four years due to inadequate medical care and a lack of hospital supplies. Sanatorio Trinidad was once one of the most prestigious private hospitals in Mexico City, founded and brought to its highest level by the late physician Arturo Gutiérrez Meneses. He is survived by his widow, the elderly Celedonia Rosario del Ángel Campos, whose assets were virtually seized by the management of Adriana Beltrán. Currently, the sanatorium provides services illegally without proper medical technology or equipment, and without qualified staff to treat patients, making it a focal point of health risk for the community, emphasized Hernández Reyes. Today, Beltrán Mayén employs about 25 'contracted' workers for pseudo-consultations with a zero salary and without mandatory labor benefits. Since October 2023, the Federal Commission for Protection against Health Risks (Cofepris) has sealed the operating rooms, and in September 2024, suspension seals were placed; however, the hospital continued to operate on the orders of Adriana Beltrán. In January 2025, Cofepris released the 'blacklist' of clandestine clinics, which included Sanatorio Trinidad, leading to the hospital's eviction and its current operation only through clandestine consultations. 'This situation suggests that Cofepris officials were bribed to 'turn a blind eye,' as the sanatorium remains open and offers consultations to a few and unwary patients,' stated the spokesperson. He recalled that at the end of last year, in a press conference, the federal deputy from the Labor Party, Margarita García García, warned that the sanatorium lacks the sanitary and technical conditions and represents a danger to patients seeking treatment. The legislator called on health and labor authorities to conduct a thorough review of the hospital and act with the utmost rigor. Unjustified dismissal of 250 workers; 80% are in labor litigation. In addition to the health risk the hospital poses to citizens, under Adriana Beltrán's administration, there are also labor violations against 250 workers unjustly dismissed, of which about 80% are in labor litigation, assured Joel Reyes. This workforce was a victim of non-payment of salaries and mandatory benefits, as well as mistreatment and workplace harassment, mainly.
