LATIN
AMERICAN MEDICINE DAY
Medical professionals honored
This
December 3, celebrated in Cuba as Latin American
Medicine Day, provided an opportunity to recognize
those who, with disinterested humility, “struggle
every day for the lives of our people and in other
sister countries,” in the words read by Dr. Luis
Curbelo Alfonso, from a congratulatory message sent
by the Ministry of Public Health to an event held at
the National Oncology and Radiology Institute (INOR.)
“This is a day for reaffirmation and motivation, but
also one of inescapable commitment to new tasks
related to the implementation of the Social and
Economic Policy Guidelines,” the message continued,
“We are in the second stage of more profound changes
in the sector, with the objective of continuing to
perfect the reorganization, consolidation and
regionalization of services; better controlling
resources; and strengthening ethical values… while
elevating the population’s health.”
Dr.
Roberto Morales Ojeda, minister of Public Health
stated to Granma, “It is precisely this dedication
to the health of the people - in every neighborhood
clinic, policlinic, hospital and social institution
- which makes our system an international
reference.”
