At the age of 27, young José Leandro Pérez Guerrero, first degree specialist in Cardiology at the General University Hospital Vladimir Ilich Lenin, became the first direct delegate from the health sector and from the province of Holguín to the XII Congress of the Young Communist League (UJC).
Although he is still very young and is in full personal and professional growth, Jose, as most of his acquaintances call him, has gone through his student stage with a meritorious performance.
Main student results and as a militant of the UJC…
– “Since 2011 I joined the UJC and held positions at the University of Medical Sciences of Holguin as brigade president, general secretary of the UJC Base Committee, coordinator of the FEU and in that same organization as president of the FEU at the University level and member of the National Council.
As a student, I maintained an active participation in the FEU, for which I obtained the status of Comprehensive Vanguard at the faculty and university level in research and as a student assistant. At that stage I was selected as a direct delegate to the IX National Congress of the FEU and participated in the V and VI National Meeting of Students of Medical Sciences.
With the participation in award exams I reached the second place in subjects such as Human Morphophysiology IV and V and Preparation for Defense II. I decided to be part of the pedagogical project “Opening steps to the Heart” where I taught in the subjects Introduction to the Clinic and Clinical Propedeutics and as part of this decision I won awards in the festival of the class at the grassroots and municipal level. I won first place in the Skills meeting at the University level.
I also participated in different editions in the Student Science Forum and was part of the election process 2017-2018. I won gold in the Festival of Amateur Artists of Art with the audiovisual Help to grow and grow. I participated in the 13 de marzo and Amistad Cups in the modalities of athletics and Chess. I was also a delegate to the XVIII Latin American and Caribbean Congress of Students in Venezuela.
Since 2020 I militate in the ranks of the Communist Party of Cuba and currently I serve as Secretary of the UJC Committee of the Lenin Hospital, non-professional member of the provincial bureau of the UJC and member of the National Committee of the UJC.”

What does it mean to be elected direct delegate to this XII Congress of the UJC?
-First of all, it is an honor to be able to represent the young people, the health sector and this hospital that has achieved so many results in the field of medicine. It is a great challenge but we are going to assume it in the best way possible so that through this congress we can dynamize the functioning of our organization.
I have been working as Secretary of the UJC Committee of the Lenin Hospital for about six months and I do all the functions that a physician specialized in Cardiology should do”.

What will be the main issues that you will bring to the important meeting on behalf of the health sector?
-First of all, I will convey on that stage the commitment of young doctors, nurses and technicians to continue betting on the development of our profession in the country. We must commit ourselves to providing medical care, despite the material shortages, which is undeniable.
The concerns of the young people are diverse and are related to the functioning of the organization, such as the training of officials or its organic functioning. There are also other concerns that have to do with their professional training, improvement in the hospital and in the social environment that surrounds us”.
