ORTIZ ALCANTARA, Ivette María  y  HOLZER, Felicitas. Medical practice and allocation of human resources in health care settings in violent regions. Med. ética [online]. 2023, vol.34, n.3, pp.763-803.  Epub 04-Oct-2023. ISSN 2594-2166.  https://doi.org/10.36105/mye.2023v34n3.04.

Violence in Mexico, specifically in some states of the Mexican Republic where the population faces dangerous situations, has as one of the many consequences, the absence of medical personnel who work as professionals and provide health services in these rural areas. In this sense, it is important to consider that the allocation of human resources in health is fundamental for the functioning of an efficient system and to consider the reasons why doctors, from social service to the performance of their specialty, do not consider working in places where they feel vulnerable. In this process, it is important to make visible the ethical questions that may arise, so this paper aims to give visibility to the issue of exposure of circumstances, facts within this problem and raise the relevant policy issues within this context.

Palabras llave : violence and health services; medical work; resource allocation; physicians in Mexico.
