Lomonosov Moscow State University – Faculty of Medicine in Buenos Aires.

[ Just a brief summary of the main article from the GNU Solidario blog, where you can find the main article.]

On December 5th. in the city of Buenos Aires (Argentina) GNU Solidario welcomed a delegation of the Lomonosov Moscow State University – Faculty of Medicine (Russia).



I want to thank the Barceló University for their tremendous help in every aspect of the logistics of the event. Many thanks to the Dr. Cosme Argerich Hospital, for the great day and guided tour of their health center. 


The Russian Delegation, lead by Prof. Oleg Medvedev, (VD, Ph.D) Chairman of the Department of Pharmacology. Professor Oleg got in touch with me around a month ago. They wanted to get a deeper understanding of the Health care system in Argentina.

The Russian Delegation, lead by Prof. Oleg Medvedev, (VD, Ph.D) Chairman of the Department of Pharmacology. Prof. Oleg got in touch with Luis Falcón, of GNU Solidario, around a month ago.
