Cuban Medics in Guatemala
Attend Science Forum
Guatemala, - About 60 conferences on mother child program,
transmissible diseases, and research in health systems have been
presented this weekend during the Seventh Scientific Forum of the
Cuban Medical Brigade (BMC) working in Guatemala.
"This is an example of the work carried out by our health
professionals, which not only assist people in communities, but also
research their health problems and develop strategies," BMC
coordinator Jose Ramon Ruiz said.
The forum awarded the work "Vaginal delivery on pelvic
presentation," by doctors Tania Pulido and Abel Barrios, due to its
importance as a teaching material to avoid mother and perinatal
deaths.
Also on the list were "Red alert in Sayaxche," by Ania Carmenate and
Andres Vasquez, and "Tuberculosis, characteristics of patients
hospitalized," by Gladis Blanco, expert in internal medicine and
master in infectious diseases.
The work by Maite Suarez and Rebeca Spaizman on sexual and child
abuse in the department of Jalapa, received a special mention.
BMC dean Madeleine Garcia highlighted the high level of those
conferences and the importance of this kind of events to exchange
experiences and knowledge among collaborators working in different
departments.
Cuban ambassador to Guatemala Omar Morales congratulated
participants for the works and praised the role the island's brigade
has played in over 10 years of work in this country.
ELAM graduates, Guatemalan health staff, and representatives from
regional entities like the Pan-American Health Organization also
attended this forum.
