Rafael Aguirre
Rafael Aguirre is the Secretary General of the Sindicato de Médicos Trabajadores del Instituto Salvadoreño del Seguro Social (SIMETRISSS). He has been vocal about the alarming trend of medical professionals leaving the Salvadoran Social Security Institute, with over 250 specialists resigning since December 2023 due to hostile working conditions and inadequate economic compensation. Aguirre emphasizes the critical shortage of specialists, which has forced general practitioners to manage complex cases typically handled by specialists, leading to increased wait times for patients seeking care. In response to these challenges, he has advocated for initiatives to address surgical delays and improve healthcare access for patients.
