The training of specialists in Geriatrics and Gerontology is one of the main strategies of the health sector in Holguín to face the aging population, which affects more than 22% of its inhabitants.
In that sense, The Lucía Íñiguez Landín Clinical Surgical Hospital is a key center for this training, where a promotion exam for residents in this specialty was recently heldas part of the multidisciplinary preparation of future geriatricians.
The preparation of these professionals is crucial for addressing the complex needs of older adults, who often present multiple chronic diseases and require a comprehensive and specialized approach.
Specialized training allows for personalized care adapted to the individual needs of each patient, contributing to healthy aging. This effort is essential for addressing demographic challenges and improving the quality of life of the elderly in Holguín and in Cuba as a whole, where 24.4% of the population is 60 years old or older.
