Nuevamente miente el Presidente Trump. El Canal de Panamá no está en proceso de recuperación y mucho menos es la tarea que en nuestras conversaciones con el Secretario Rubio ni ningún otro se haya ni siquiera conversado. Rechazo a nombre de Panamá y de todos los panameños esta nueva afrenta a la verdad y a nuestra dignidad como Nación. La cooperación entre nuestros gobiernos pasa por entendimientos claros en torno a temas de mutuo interés, como se ha venido haciendo Nada tiene que ver ni con la “recuperación del Canal” ni con mancillar nuestra soberanía nacional. El Canal es panameño y seguirá siendo panameño!

This April, celebrate National Minority Health Month (NMHM) by being the source of better health. @CDCHealthEquity recognizes NMHM as an opportunity to bring attention to health inequities and CDC's work to address health disparities. Learn more: bit.ly/3UlAhEJ #NMHM24

During #NationalMinorityHealthMonth, we’re calling attention to the health disparities across historically marginalized racial and ethnic groups. As #PatientSafety leaders, #anesthesiologists play a key role in reducing these disparities.
