Trajectory and history of Hugo López-Gatell

Between 2008 and 2012, he was Deputy Director General of Epidemiology in the Mexican Government , then led by the conservative President Felipe Calderón. A few years ago and in his first years in the public sector, he was undersecretary for Prevention and Health Promotion, having a notable intervention in 2009 due to the AH1N1 influenza pandemic. His desire to improve led him to apply as director of the National Institute of Public Health in the six-year term of Enrique Peña Nieto, but he did not obtain the position.

Doctor López-Gatell , among his great professional achievements, is also support for the defense of popular insurance, hiring at FUCAM, new options for HIV treatment, created new reforms to the National Epidemiological Surveillance System (Sinave), worked as a professor at UNAM and having been a research assistant in the Department of Epidemiology, sponsored by the Bloomberg Foundation.

During his stay at said institution from 2012 to 2017 , he led the project “Fighting obesity in Mexico: supporting the design and evaluation of effective social actions and public policies” , which aimed to make those companies that abused the use of sugars in their products they had to pay more taxes due to health problems in society. In fact, it could be said that thanks to Hugo López-Gatell Ramírez , the new labeling law was applied where companies were obliged to tell consumers that their products were high in carbohydrates and fats, and therefore not good for health.

Along with his work for the Bloomberg Foundation from 2013 to 2018, he served as director of Innovation in Surveillance and Control of Infectious Diseases , of the National Institute of Public Health and was director of National Health Surveys for two consecutive years.

The epidemiologist and researcher took the position of Undersecretary for Prevention and Health Promotion of the Government in the six-year term of Andrés Manuel López Obrador on December 1, 2018. Starting in 2020 the Undersecretary for Prevention and Health Promotion , Hugo López-Gatell Ramírez, began to have an important role due to the numerous crises in the national health system in Mexico.

His presence began to be more and more frequent in the daily conferences of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, where he was required to pay attention to the health issues facing Mexico. However, his popularity exploded with the arrival of the pandemic that hit the whole the world and that arrived in the Aztec country in March 2020, the coronavirus .

Dr. Hugo López-Gatell Ramírez began holding daily press conferences to notify the entire Mexican people of the coronavirus situation in Mexico. Every day he showed the statistics with the new confirmed cases in the country, as well as the suspects and those that had been ruled out, in addition to answering questions from the press who daily approached him with questions of all kinds.

Curiously , Hugo López-Gatell Ramírez , and despite all odds , began to have not only exponential popularity for appearing every day on the screens and devices of Mexican homes, but his success was such that fan clubs were generated where they not only showed his support for the doctor but also many people began to feel great empathy with him, assuring that they loved him very much for his commendable daily work and his impetus in the face of the situation.

Girls who declared their love for him on social networks, memes in favor of him, stickers for Instagram, even proposals from people to nominate him as the next president of Mexico were just some of what began to be generated in relation to his person since incredible as it seemed in the midst of the pandemic the popularity of Hugo López-Gatell Ramírez reached unthinkable levels , even so much was the fanaticism of the people to know everything about him and his private life that images began to leak from when Doctor Hugo López-Gatell was young, which generated much praise for him and thousands and thousands of people in love, both girls and even boys from the LGBT community.

On April 17, 2020, one of the biggest scandals that Javier Alatorre would have faced in his journalistic career would arrive after he made a rather unfortunate comment about COVID-19 on his newscast “Hechos” . In the middle of the “coronavirus” pandemic that hit Mexico at that time and while all Mexicans remained in their homes in quarantine so as not to spread the virus further and not get infected, Javier Alatorre  apparently by order Ricardo Salinas Pliego (owner of TV Azteca) He assured that the Sub-Secretary of Health Hugo López-Gatell was lying about the data that he presented day by day, since according to investigations there were more deaths than those presented by the epidemiologist.“Don’t ignore Hugo López-Gatell” because his figures are false” , was Javier Alatorre’s statement.

In a matter of minutes, his phrase “Don’t listen to him” became a trend throughout Mexico and a wave of attacks against him began, so much so that there were those who called him inducing suicide because the driver and journalist Javier Alatorre  was implying that they did not follow the recommendations of Hugo López-Gatell and instead took to the streets to live their lives; something that he never said, since Javier Alatorre was referring specifically to “Death figures”, not to the sanitary recommendations. Curiously, by that time , Hugo López-Gatell had become the most important figure for Mexicans.in relation to the pandemic and his popularity had exponential levels because the love and admiration that people had taken him was so great that memes, videos, parodies, songs, dolls, piñatas and many other things related to him were even generated. so anyone who doubted his words would be strongly attacked and in this case Javier Alatorre messed with the wrong person at the least opportune moment.
