Cuban Health Workers in Suriname Defend their Theses

HAVANA, Cuba, Feb 3 . Three Cuban health professionals, members of the José Martí Column One Medical Brigade now working in Suriname, defended their theses for their master’s degrees at the headquarters of the Ministry of Public Health in that South American nation.

The Minister of Health in Suriname, Celsius Waterberg, and Cuba’s ambassador to Paramaribo, the capital, Andres Gonzalez, presided over the activity.

The teaching director of the Cuban Medical Brigade, Alexis Hernandez, pointed out that the three collaborators dedicated this achievement, performed for the first time by Cubans in Suriname, to the 156th anniversary of the birth of Cuba’s National Hero José Martí, celebrated
on January 28.

The theses were: Community participation in some aspects of sexuality in adolescents, by Mildred Ramos; Nutritional Energy Malnutrition in children under 15 year-old, by de Kenia Morales; and Behaviour of High Blood Pressure in the elderly, by Eddy Millan, head of the Cuban Medical Brigade in Suriname.

The members of the examining board, headed by Rafael Corona, explained the legal aspects inherent in master’s degrees and underlined the importance of carrying out these educational exercises, especially amid Cuba’s international medical cooperation.

The activity was also part of celebrations for the 50th anniversary of the triumph of the Cuban Revolution, by the Cuban voluntary workers in
that nation.
