‘They send doctors back to the mouth of the wolf’:
killing of graduate stokes fears for Ecuador’s medics

Jose Aguirre Giler never imagined his brother’s work as a doctor in a rural Ecuadorian town would end in kidnapping attempts and fatal gunfire.

His youngest brother, Steven, had a bright future ahead of him after graduating from medical school in 2023 and starting a government-mandated year of service at a health centre in Guayas,
a south-western province racked by drug gang violence.

“He helped out anyone who needed help,” says Jose.

The first kidnapping attempt was in November 2023 as Steven was on his way to work,
according to the Ministry of Public Health.

His brother says the attack went awry when the assailants’ car was damaged, and Steven escaped.
After that came anonymous threats demanding money.

Six months later, on 14 May, the 25-year-old was #fatally #shot during his morning commute.
Criminals tried to abduct Steven from his car and he resisted, says Jose. “It was the worst day of our lives.”

Steven was one of more than 19,000 people killed in Ecuador since a surge of violence tied to gangs involved in the drug trade erupted in coastal areas in 2020.

He was also one of a growing number of doctors across the country who physician guilds say have been targeted by extortionists, putting the country’s strained healthcare system at further risk.

Those serving in rural areas or on the outskirts of city centres appear to be especially at risk.
The Federation of Rural Health Professionals told the Guardian it has already received more than 760 reports in 2024 of doctors being threatened by criminals in order to extort money.
It said it usually receives no more than 20 reports like this in a year.

Result of #segregation by #design: Non-whites are much more likely to be #fatally struck by #cars when #walking or #biking, the consequences of #redlining and #urbanrenewal. (Similar to El Camino!) The solutions are relatively simple but the lack of #funding and #politicalwill have been barriers.
