A warning call arose among health professionals: drug that circulates today, is not the same that will move through the streets for the next week.

The First Provincial Workshop on Addictions, led by Health specialists in Las Tunas, was held on the definitions of concepts to distinguish which are drugs of abuse, the addicted patient, and each of the types of drugs, as part of a work strategy aimed at dispensing, training, and dialogue in the management of patients.

Dr. Aliosky Montero Escala

He came to Las Tunas by another chance, and the son of Mantua, Pinar del Río, confesses that he carries the duality rooted in him because this is also his homeland. As a master in Emergency Medicine, assistant professor, and president of the Academic Committee of the specialty, his dialogue is bifurcated, but the doctor is faithful to his patients, to the maelstrom of the ward, and to those precious seconds in which life or death takes hold.

Las Tunas closed the year 2024 with an infant mortality rate of 6.3 per thousand live births and the strength of a more consensual and multidisciplinary management.

Dr. Eduardo Roberto Villamil Toranzo

He was barely tall enough to stand above the table and one thing was already very clear to him: "I'm going to be a doctor." And the reminder came to him with a mixture of commitment and vocation, because in his lineage, at some point, thirty-something wore white coats... So that would also be his path, but he was not going to be an ordinary one but "the one that people would like the most...”

Forensic Medicine specialist Eliani Gómez Velázquez.

Underneath the white coat, 28 years have passed quickly, as if it were a sin to waste time because life is a bundle of opportunities, only while you breathe… Eliani has too many commitments in her shoes, sometimes they even exceed the 24 hours of the busiest day, but she assures that they have a vertex in a great passion: “Being a forensic expert.”
