Fiftieth anniversary of the Medical Movement in Mexico (1964-1965)

This Symposium highlights the recognition that this year reaches half a century of the Medical Movement ( 1964-1965), and 27 years of publishing the book titled, "Documental Memories and Reflections" ("Cronica Documental y Reflexiones") edited by the Faculty of Medicine of the UNAM, at that time directed by the prestigious Dr. Fernando Cano Valle. Our President Dr. Graue indicated that Dr. Alejandro Trevino-Becerra assumed the coordination of this session with the commitment to be published in the Medical Gazette of Mexico for current and future generations. The Academic participants were: Norberto Trevino Garcia-Manzo, president of the Academy in 1988. Dr. Felipe Mota Hernandez was the Recording Secretary of the Mexican Medical Alliance ("Alianza de Medicos Mexicanos"). Now he is the Dean of the Children's Hospital of Mexico "Federico Gomez". Dr. Cesar Gutierrez Samperio, surgeon at IMSS and professor at Medicine School, University of Queretaro until a year ago. Dr. Fernando Cano Valle, former Head of the Medical Faculty, UNAM, presently a researcher in Medicine and Human Rights in the Institute for Juridical Research, UNAM. I quote the Academic Trevino Zapata: "I believe that it will be difficult to bring again the conditions and circumstances that made possible the vigorous realization of the Medical Movement, the enthusiastic and hopeful creation of the Mexican Medical Alliance, and the promising start and progress of the integration of the national medical union."
