The recent conclusion of the second edition of the Diploma course on Health Management, corresponding to the current year, provided greater preparation and knowledge to the 23 health professionals from the province of Holguin who took part in it.
Thus, with an average age that does not exceed 30 years, the officials and reserves cadres graduated from the diploma course are more prepared to assume different responsibilities in health institutions.
In this sense, Dr. María Paneque Mendoza, deputy director of the pediatric hospital Octavio de la Concepción de la Pedraja, said that “it is an opportunity for all the young cadres, reserves and quarries that we had the pleasure of sharing during these eight weeks. We were 23 graduates belonging to the different health areas and to the three provincial hospitals.
We had a group of wonderful professors, with vast experience, who gave us many tools to find solutions to daily problems, how to establish priorities, organize work, demand discipline, and educate by example,” said DR. Paneque.
That is why I want to thank, on behalf of all my colleagues, the professors who were sharing with us during this time, especially Professor Oquendo, coordinator of the course, Professor Maritza who was with us the first week and accompanied us all the time, Dr. Adrián for teaching us in each conference about his experiences and good ideas, with each accurate intervention and for his ability to make the synthesis in each topic, added Paneque.
We really got to feel them all as a family, that is why it would be very opportune that all the officials and reserves have the opportunity to receive this diploma course”, concluded Paneque.
Yanet Pupo Estupiñán, student leader and current first-degree specialist in Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine at the pediatric hospital of Holguín, expressed that “as a professional, it has contributed a lot to my performance, as well as to the rest of my colleagues, because it was a diploma course that initially prepared us on the main characteristics that a civil servant should have, such as humility, love, commitment, creativity, dedication and a high dose of personal example combined with exigency and a lot of preparation to achieve the proposed objectives.
We prepared ourselves as health managers to carry out our responsibilities and assume others, now with a higher level of knowledge about the health system and how it works, for which we are infinitely grateful. We are in a better moment, when we have a task we already know where to direct it, what is wanted, how to achieve the objectives, how to execute it and who our collaborators will be, said Pupo.
I understand that to be a health manager you don’t have to stop being a doctor, on the contrary, it requires more learning and the integration of knowledge. As a teacher, whom I esteem very much, told me: never stop being yourself,” Pupo summarized.
Thus, new challenges lie ahead for recent graduates, with the opportunity to face and solve in better conditions the problems that arise in the performance of their work duties.
