Ensenada General Hospital is urgently searching for the family of Eduardo Rafael León Peraza, a 73-year-old man who has been hospitalized in critical condition since April 28. No relatives have visited or been identified since his admission.
Hospital officials issued a public appeal asking anyone who recognizes the name or knows his family to contact the facility. The man has remained alone in the hospital for weeks with no emergency contacts on file.
How to Contact the Hospital
Anyone with information about León Peraza or his relatives can reach Ensenada General Hospital at 646-176-76-00 or 646-176-78-00. The relevant extensions are 3420 and 3514.
The hospital, which serves the broader Ensenada municipality, is one of the city’s main public medical facilities. It is located in the urban center of Ensenada, roughly 70 miles south of the U.S. border at San Ysidro.
A Reminder for Residents and Visitors
Cases like this are not unheard of in Baja California’s public hospital system. Patients admitted through emergencies sometimes arrive without identification or phone contacts. When no family members come forward, hospital social workers must issue public calls for help.
For expats, retirees, and long-term visitors in the Ensenada area, this case is a practical reminder to keep emergency contact information accessible. Carrying a card in your wallet with a local contact’s name and phone number, along with any medical conditions or allergies, can make a significant difference if you are incapacitated.
Neighbors in communities along the Ensenada coast and surrounding colonias are encouraged to share the information widely. If you recognize the name Eduardo Rafael León Peraza, even from a passing acquaintance, the hospital is asking you to call.
