Polyhedron of Caracas, Capital District.- With the objective of strengthening the National Public Health System (SPNS), the President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro Moros, approved the allocation of university scholarships for medical students, in order to pursue advanced studies abroad, in order to consolidate different medical specialties.
“We open a special plan for medical specialties in countries like China, India and Russia, and we give them scholarships so that they can specialize there,” said the President from the Poliedro de Caracas, located in La Rinconada, regarding the graduation of students from the University of Health Sciences “Hugo Chávez Frías” (UCS).
In this regard, he appointed the sectoral vice presidency of Science, Technology, Education and Health, Gabriela Jiménez, to carry out matters related to the allocation of scholarships abroad through UCS.
The Dignitary insisted on the need to consolidate and guarantee “a powerful universal, public, free health system of the highest quality in the world for the people of Venezuela, who deserve to have the right to health and here we are forming it by graduating professionals,” he said.
In the same order of ideas, he recalled that in the past studying medicine was a privilege for those who had the financial resources to do so.
“There are countries in South America where a boy or a girl from a modest and humble home finds it impossible to study medicine and impossible to study a specialty (…) go to Chile so they can see that only the children of the rich study medicine, in Peru, in Colombia, in the United States, only the children of the rich study medicine”, the Head of State declared.
In 2024 the UCS will offer new PNF
Similarly, he announced the creation of new National Training Programs (PNF) at the UCS for 2024, in Bioanalysis and Electromedicine.
Likewise, health professionals will have the option of continuing their advanced studies through postgraduate courses in: medical oncology, adult intensive care and otorhinolaryngology, among others.
In this sense, he specified that the allocation of quotas will be carried out through the National University Entrance System (SNIU) and the Ministry of Popular Power for University Education.
Finally, he urged the new professionals to strengthen the SPNS, in addition to the social missions of the health sector, with the aim of being at the forefront of the challenges facing the country.
