Coatzacoalcos Hospital Air Conditioning Malfunction: Cancer Patient Highlights Healthcare Challenges A cancer patient, Erick, at the ISSSTE Hospital in Coatzacoalcos, Veracruz, has highlighted critical issues with the hospital's air conditioning system. The air conditioning has been non-functional since May 19th, according to Erick, creating unbearable conditions for patients, especially those like himself undergoing cancer treatment. The extreme heat is exacerbating his already difficult situation. "I'm fighting cancer, and now I'm fighting the stifling heat," Erick stated in a video shared on social media. The ISSSTE has responded, acknowledging the issue and stating that repairs are in progress. However, the lack of immediate action has left patients suffering in the sweltering heat.
