When the medical experts from a hospital denied care for this Mexican woman, because of lack of money, the pregnant woman was forced to welcome her baby outside the clinic lawn! This photo shocked the entire country and sparked the discussions regarding the health care status in the country.
This also opened talks regarding discrimination against the indigenous Mexican people. The photo was released by a witness who took it and sent it to the reporter. Several media outlets and newspapers - both local and national have already published it.
29-year-old Irma Lopez and her partner walked for several hours from their village to the clinic where Lopez was set to go on labor. But when they arrived there, medical experts told them to go outside and wait for the doctor to attend to them the next morning.
Medical experts aren't present when Lopez's waters broke an hour and a half after and ultimately gave birth to Salvador, their male baby.
