A total of seventeen physicians were seeking specialty certification from the Mexican Board of Ophthalmology and the Mexican Board of Otorhinolaryngology in accordance with the General Health Law. Due to their religious convictions, they could not perform the corresponding examinations on Saturdays. Therefore, they requested the National Regulatory Committee of Medical Specialties Councils to change the day to carry out the evaluation. However, their request did not meet with a favorable response and for this reason they filed an Amparo lawsuit arguing violation of the right to conscientious objection, which was dismissed. Finally, the Second Chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation took the Amparo and resolved, not the conscientious objection of the objecting doctors, but the indirect religious discrimination.
