As if trying to revive the nobility of their elders; Like a child who seeks to follow the best examples of his life, Pablo Casabella puts medicine into practice from house to house, rural, affective and free care for hundreds of people with ailments in the town of La Viña, Vallista.
“Thanks to the people who continue to join this solidarity project of ‘Free and rotating medical care’. Mr. Ramón Esteve, thank you for providing medicines that are difficult to obtain for special cases; Director of the Manuel J. Castilla School, Professor Nilda Quiñones and Dr. Griselda Quiñones for her collaboration; Mrs. Liliana Villada who contributes with her vehicle to transport patients; Rebollo family, Mr. Lucas López Burgos for continuing to leave his heart in every outing; Professor Luis Benavídez for obtaining the insulins and devices to measure blood glucose that are delivered to patients with diabetes who do not have these fundamental elements; to the deputy Esteban Amat for paving the way for us in the negotiations; to Professor Emilio Guanca, to the social communicators of the region; to the residents of La Viña and Salta (capital and interior), this continues to grow thanks to you,” doctor Pablo Casabella posted on Facebook and applause broke out from the hearts of the people of Salta who make an apostolate of solidarity.
Casabella is 42 years old, he is a doctor in the Operative Area 36 of La Viña. Before he was the manager of the Santa Victoria Este hospital, in the Chaco of Salta, where the inhabitants are Creole and indigenous, the majority of the Wichi ethnic group. Pablo always dealt from medicine with the most vulnerable on the social scale, his work areas are always deep inside, where miracles are expected from a doctor.
Accustomed to extreme needs, to mediate between the short-sighted health system and the horrifying reality of the people, he chose to leave the comfort zone once again, where most settle, to practice medicine with an overwhelming passion, that which characterizes it.
Every week he travels to places in the south of the Lerma Valley, where he attends ad honorem and delivers medicines that he buys himself, and others donated by neighbors who join in solidarity. “This is only done with the heart,” said the doctor.
Casabella has at its root the learning of the importance of the presence of a doctor in the rural environment. His grandfather, Dr. Roberto Tanús, was a doctor from Salta who many will remember for his dedication and humanity. “He always wanted to be like my grandfather; he is my beacon,” he assured.
