Judith Ortega Canto

Judith Ortega Canto is the Secretary of Health in Yucatán and a recognized researcher at the Universidad Autónoma de Yucatán (UADY). Recently, she has come under scrutiny for her administrative decisions, including changes in health facilities that have not led to improved services. Critics have noted her preference for academic work over her government role, particularly in light of unresolved complaints regarding alleged extortion by health sector personnel, which has further fueled public concern about her effectiveness in office.
