In Monanci’s proposal, the oncologist argues that a federation would harmonize and coordinate scientific activities, as congress does, in such a way that some support the work of others.
He pointed out that, in the case of oncology, there are several societies that could, under the umbrella of a federation, hold an annual joint congress.
He indicated that his proposal includes that each society take turns holding a congress, after holding the one held under the federation scheme.
He stated that with his proposal the pharmaceutical industry and health brands would be less forced into the commercial supports of the events.
Medical societies are endorsed by the Dominican Medical College under mandate of law.
Some 57 medical societies are endorsed by the medical union, but others operate as associations, under commercial names or do not have endorsement from the CMD.
