JAGUEY GRANDE. Communities in this territory of central Matanzas province are benefited from the doctors' training program incorporated in the Bolivarian Alternative for The Americas (ALBA).
The Sofiel Riverón faculty-policlinic, in which over 360 doctors-to-be from Venezuela are studying with highly trained teachers, offers primary ealth care services to residents in the town of La Isabel, in Jovellanos municipality.
The institution, equipped with advanced technology, also offers medical assistance to students from the neighboring Luis Alfonso Pre-University Institute, while the doctors-to-be practice the community medicine program that will later on apply in their country.
This faculty-policlinic offers consultation, ultrasound, clinical laboratory, observation room, dentistry and infirmary services, while its staff also visits patients in their homes and carry out campaigns to prevent non-transmissible diseases, like diabetes mellitus.
The teaching clinic’s dean, Dr. Rosa María Téllez, told ACN that one of the greatest advantages of this modality of study is that from the first year of their career, the students are in direct contact with patients along with their professors, which contributes to a more humanistic training.
In the municipality of Jagüey Grande, 160 kilometers southeast of Havana, there are some 25 such health facilities, including policlinics, general hospitals, multi-purpose centers, and an eye hospital, in which over 5,700 medical students from some 20 nations are studying and training.
