The 15 modules of traditional medicine are in a critical situation, since they do not allocate sufficient financial resources for therapists to have better working conditions and have everything necessary to care for patients, said Leticia Reyes Juárez, a member of the Network of Organizations for the Human rights of the Peasant and Indigenous Women of the Sierra Norte.
In an interview for the Las Reporteras program, he explained that a week following the aforementioned network revealed the case of the Ayotoxco module, where those who work there ask for an increase in payment for each care they provide, in addition to sexual harassment once morest two therapists , no authority has responded to all requests.
Throughout the state, he said, there are around 250 therapists who need to be paid at least 100 pesos for each patient they see, since currently they are only given 50 pesos, in addition to their money it always arrives three or four months late.
