MUNOZ MARTINEZ, Rubén. Risk, Covid-19 and hospital care in Mexico City: Are we moving toward a new medical practice?. Nóesis, Rev. cienc. soc. [online]. 2022, vol.31, n.61, pp.26-46. Epub 22-Ago-2022. ISSN 2395-8669. https://doi.org/10.20983/noesis.2022.1.2.
Covid-19 pandemic has entailed new challenges for health care in the Mexican public health sector, producing changes in clinical practices that are now handling patients infected with covid-19 and also outpatient consultations at tertiary-level care hospitals. Some of these challenges are related to the perception of risk held by physicians regarding the possibility of contracting or transmitting covid-19 during their work, and to the management of risk from the standpoint of biomedical organizational culture linked to the material and symbolic conditions of public health services predating the pandemic. We analyze these issues from an anthropological research based on in-depth interviews to physicians that work with covid-19 patients at “Covid-19 hospitals” or “hybrid hospitals” in Mexico City. Covid-19 has arrived in social relations and perceptions of risk in the arena of health care and involves knowing and transforming some structural and symbolic conditions, resignified with the pandemic, for proper medical care.
