His colleagues are not unaware that the activism of Gerardo Gutiérrez Martínez is in the multiple and outstanding achievements of the Provincial Center of Electromedicine, because in the 14 years of his work career, in the last 11, he has led the Committee of Innovators and Rationalizers of the institution.
Las Tunas, Cuba.- For this reason, the majority granted him the vote that supports him as a direct delegate to the 22nd Congress of the Central Union of Cuban Workers (CTC), to be held in Havana in April of next year, and to which he will bring a suitcase loaded with the experiences and achievements of this group, whose work is essential to sustain the vitality of the medical equipment that guarantees timely and safe diagnoses.
Gutiérrez Martínez does not hide his satisfaction with the trust placed in him but he recognizes that “it is a great privilege to represent a group with such a great history, and the more than 16 thousand members of the health sector, who amid so many difficulties continue to give their best to save lives.”
He is part of that army that defends health with concrete and alternative actions from his tireless work in technologies related to medical electronics, rehabilitation, nephrology, life support, and imaging, to which he puts his heart and soul.
His credit includes numerous innovations that prolong the useful life of medical and technological equipment. He stands out in constant confrontation with multiple obstacles in areas of great sensitivity, such as breathing and imaging, which require expensive means in the international market.
He assures that he has done it –and will continue to do it- “because the satisfaction that working for the well-being and health of the people gives me is great. Generally, one does not know the beneficiaries, but one knows how much it represents for the patient, the family, and the friends to overcome any illness.”
Gutiérrez Martínez was trained in this center's teaching unit; he feels grateful to his colleagues and the good tutors who have supported his desire to learn since he began his professional training. He considers their work as guarantors of medical services in the province, whose technologies require constant innovations to maintain their vitality, essential.
Gerardo Gutiérrez Martínez will go to the 22nd Congress as the bearer of a task that validates the feasibility of overcoming obstacles with collective ingenuity and creative will. To the great event of the Cuban working class, “I will bring the best experiences of a group that challenges the intensification of the American blockade on Cuba and revives obsolete technologies to safeguard the health of the people,” he says.
