Professionals from the University Hospital of Albacete carry out an urological mission in Monrovia, capital of Liberia. (November 02, 2022). Cope
These are the urologists José Miguel Giménez Bachs and Antonio Salinas Sánchez, the latter head of the Urology Service of Albacete, and the anesthesiologist María Rosario Calero Calero. The three, together with the urologist Laura Herráiz Raya,who trained as a specialist in Urology in Albacete, and the nurse from the La Fe University Hospital in Valencia, María José Rodríguez Navarro, have formed the team of Spanish health workers who traveled to the African country thanks to the ONG ‘Surg For All’.
If we talk about the poorest countries in the world, Liberia is one of them. The mission represents an ongoing effort to improve health care in the African country.
In just over a week, the team of professionals carried out a cooperation mission at the St. Joseph Catholic Hospital where, in addition to bringing surgery closer to people without resources, the most humble and those who need it most, they contributed to the training of local staff, mainly nurses and doctors, to improve the care they offer.
This solidarity action highlights the commitment of health personnel to international cooperation and equity, helping to improve access to health in a region with limited resources and with a worse prognosis in quality of life.
