Next August 25 marks the 20th anniversary of the assassination of Héctor Abad Gómez, medical and humanely killed for their commitment to public health, social justice and human rights. Dr. Hector Abad, founder of the department of preventive medicine at the University of Antioquia was one of the leading advocates for public health in our country, an activity that he was indistinguishable from the ethical and political commitment to the poor and defense human rights.
From General Secretariat will make a very cordial invitation to commemorate this anniversary in the different nodes and groups work, with activities that enable new generations understand, analyze and assess the life and work of Héctor Abad Gómez, a man of integrity and a committed teacher to death with the dignity of life, whose insight and generosity persists in the heart of public health.
In this regard, and hope that this helps, I attach a sketch prepared by the Library of the National School of Public Health and two articles of teachers and Enrique Esperanza Echeverri Yepes. The photo is a restoration politely ceded by Professor Fabio Rodríguez León. A hug
