The Petrist vision of health.
Just as Peru suffered, the risk looms over Colombia today that doctors recently arrived in the country from Venezuela and trained there under the precarious academic qualification provided by the parameters of Cuban medicine, will have their meager titles approved.
Absurd purpose that a group of congressmen of the “Historical Pact” has been managing before our health and education authorities, seeking the validation of such titles so that, consequently, they can practice their profession on equal terms with graduates in the country under the rigors and demands of our higher education institutions.
Such an ineffable claim arises without a doubt from the close twinning of our ruling left with the dictator Maduro and the encouragement of President Petro, supported by the erroneous and disproportionate belief that with the poverty of a curriculum designed under diverse criteria and of inferior quality to ours and from theoretical, practical and technical points of view, fundamentally political, as its very name of Community Comprehensive Medicine (MIC) indicates and in recently formed experimental universities such as the “Community Sciences” la Salud Hugo Chávez”, can be qualified in just four years dedicated almost exclusively to “primary care”, professionals who will emulate those here, characterized by the professional solidity that six years of exclusive consecration in university centers of traditional qualities, widely recognized by international organizations such as PAHO/WHO, as the Colombian Medical Association (CMC) has been denouncing.
And it was that with the support of the Cuban Medical Mission that was designed between 2007 and 2008 in Venezuela; the aforementioned concept of Comprehensive Community Medicine (MIC); with a curriculum prepared jointly by professionals from the island and the Venezuelan Ministry of University Education and the Ministry of Health, to make it part of the Law on the professional practice of Medicine, and the study plan, responsible for the deficient training of the professionals who were deployed, by the poorest communities of that neighboring country, such as that of the well-known “Barrio Adentro”, causing, -according to the qualified opinion-, the health emergency that was triggered there, while very little or almost nothing was achieved when trying to “alleviate the serious crisis in which the patients ended up”.
Faced with such a risk, the officials in charge of human resources in the health sector have recently spoken out, saying that there is no room for fears of this nature, since “in Colombia, to comply with the validation criteria, strict compliance with requirements is required, which those who have graduated from the Comprehensive Community Medicine (MIC) programs in Venezuela and aspire to said recognition and homologation, do not have”, and that “to comply with the criteria for validation of professional titles in this country there is a very clear law and conditions, to which we must inexorably adhere”.
Hopefully it will be so and the educational and health authorities, pressured by petrism, will avoid it!
