«The University must guarantee the comprehensive training of health professionals socially, politically and ideologically committed to ensure the development of the Family and Community Health Model, based on the principles and values of Sovereignty, Self-determination and Independence, Patriotism, Vocation to service, Social Commitment, Humanism, Bioethics, Integrity, Equity, Solidarity, and Respect Love for the Mother Earth,” the resolution warns.
This new medical university has been authorized to teach two undergraduate courses (General Medicine and Nursing) and five postgraduate courses (Specialty in Internal Medicine; Specialty in General Surgery; Specialty in Pediatrics; Specialty in Obstetrics and Gynecology; and Specialty in Radiology – Imaging ).
In this new house of studies, the CNU installed as authorities the General Commissioner, Doctor Julio César Paladino Roiz, as Rector; the Deputy Commissioner, Dr. Ondina Elena Espinal Espinoza, as General Vice Rector; and to the Captain, Dr. Martha Magaly Argüello Morales, as General Secretary, who will work for four years.
The Police is one of the key pieces in the repressive mechanism of the Ortega-Murillo dictatorship, in charge of persecuting and imprisoning opponents, as well as applying force to carry out Ortega’s mandates considered “illegal” by the opposition.
Recently, the oppressive arm of the regime was sanctioned by the United States government, which determined to add the Nicaraguan Police to the List of Entities for “participating in activities contrary to the interests of US foreign policy.” This addition is made because the PNN is responsible or complicit, or has directly or indirectly participated in serious human rights abuses in Nicaragua,” said the statement from the US Department of Commerce.
