Health chief sacked over bedless hospital decision
A health chief has been sacked for allowing Chile’s president to inaugurate a public hospital so poorly prepared, it had to borrow beds and have one of its employees pose as a patient.
President Michelle Bachelet presided over the opening of the hospital in the town of Curepto, 200 miles south of Santiago, on February 29. Standing by her side was regional health director Gerardo Herrera.
