Nephrology specialists from Holguin and several other provinces update their knowledge on this specialty during practical sessions as part of the First Cuban Course on Interventional Nephrology.
This event, which takes place in the halls of the Lucía Iñiguez Landín Surgical Clinical Hospital for practical sessions, is sponsored by the Cuban Society of Nephrology and organized by the nephrologist and fellow in Interventional Nephrology by the International Society of the specialty, Dr. Lázaro Ibrain Cobiellas Carballo.
Until September 15, the participants will receive training in topics such as Tunneled Catheter Placement for Hemodialysis, Peritoneal Dialysis Catheter Placement and Percutaneous Renal Biopsy, all under ultrasonographic control, new techniques used in the country.
Nephrology
It is a unique experience of its kind in Cuba, at the level of the medicine practiced in developed countries. So this course is registered with the scientific endorsement of this society itself, as part of the programs of Continuing Medical Education and Educational Ambassadors of the aforementioned scientific society.
Prior to the start of the event, lectures were held in a theoretical and face-to-face manner and online through Google Meet, with the participation of renowned professors from Mexico and Ecuador.
In this sense, Dr. Juan Cristóbal Santacruz Mancheno, Interventional Nephrologist in the city of Quito, Ecuador, who traveled to Cuba as an Educational Ambassador, was incorporated as a tutor in the training.
Due to the impact achieved by this event, we are working on the projection of subsequent editions.
