Resumen
PAVON SANCHEZ, Rodrigo A. et al. Proposal of an action guide to coordinate the last visits of relatives during the «last days life» of a Covid-19 patient in Mexico. Med. ética [online]. 2021, vol.32, n.1, pp.107-136. Epub 14-Ago-2023. ISSN 2594-2166. https://doi.org/10.36105/mye.2021v32n1.03.
In December 2019, a new, potentially fatal acute respiratory illness caused by a coronavirus was described in Wuhan Province in China. This disease was called Covid-19. In Mexico, mortality from this disease is high and a significant percentage of patients die in hospitals.
For now, there is no specific protocol in Mexico’s public and private health system for families to say goodbye to patients with Covid-19. A panel of experts in palliative care and bioethics proposes one, so that it could serve as a reference in every health unit in our country.
