In a dramatic escalation of the crisis at Hospital Claudio Vicuña, 22 doctors—including key specialists—have announced resignations effective April 27 in support of director Loreto Maturana, following health authorities' push to oust her over appointing ex-minister Jeannette Vega as medical subdirector. The move intensifies accusations of political persecution amid earlier refusals by interim designates to remove Vega.
