Las Tunas.- The
11th National
Meeting of
Medical Schools
was held this
city, some 690
kilometers to
the east of
Havana, with the
attendace of 140
delegates from
all the
provinces of the
country to
discuss key
aspects on the
student´s
teaching and
learning.
This is the
climax of a
process that
began in each
municipality and
that leads to
debate on how
effective the
academic life of
the medical
students,
inclued those in
nursing and
dentistry, is in
ralation with
their
residential
life.
They also debate
on their
prevention work
they carry out,
with medical
diagnostics,
educative talks
and researches,
at remote
communities,
where they have
to go as part of
thier trainig as
future
professionals of
the public
health in Cuba.
Those 140
particiapnt
students
exchaged on
their own
experiences at
the hospitals,
clinics,
communities or
laboratories and
many have known
how difficult is
to travel to
remote regions
to offer a
healthy
lifestyle and to
change wrong
habits to the
rural
population.
The University
Student
Federation (FEU)
of these centers
favors spaces
like this for
the appropriate
discussion in
search of
offering an
excellent health
seservice.
In Cuba the
Medical Sciences
have a big amout
of students and
its
professionals
also give their
solidary help in
different pood
nationd of the
world.
But
unfortunately,
not all the
students like
their careers as
it is expected,
so the role of
the FEU is very
important to
encourage them.
Nevertheless,
most of them are
absorbed in
their study,
which must be
constant to
achive the best
result in a
career of
health, as it
was emphasized
at the meeting.
The medical
students also
discussed about
the excellence
in the services,
on thier
learning during
the medical
visits they made
with their
mentors at
hospitals,
clinics and
neighborhoods of
the different
regions of Cuba.
The participats
also dabted some
problems, such
as the
instability of
physicians at
the communities
and the lack of
hygiene in some
health
facilities,
which can damage
the patient and
the medical
staff.
The Head of
Health
Department of
the Central
Committee of
Communist Party
of Cuba, Gerardo
Hernandez,
asserted at the
closing of the
event that it is
necessary to
save all the
resources
without harming
the quality in
the services,
because this is
the only way to
have a
sustainable
health system.
The best work
for the young
medical students
in the country's
economic battle
is the saving of
waste materials,
and their
constant study
to be better
professionals in
their field.
These medical
students are
very eager to
show how much
they can do and
give. They have
unique teachers
that make Cuba
can count on one
of the best
health systems
in the world and
experts of
genuine feeling.
These future
professionals
are addressing
themselves in
the desire to
discuss what
they want and
need to do to
help their
people and their
family to have a
decent life and
to enjoy right
to health
through
prevention,
saving and
responsibility.
Help to recover
a life, to save
what could be
lost, that ...
is to make a
work of love
and, luckily for
the people, they
are engaged in
it.
