Nuestros Testimoniales

Milagros Guzmán

Graduate

Throughout the Public Health and Global Health degree course I have acquired knowledge and methodologies to work with society and institutions in order to promote the population to make decisions that contribute to their well-being and health; this thanks to the theoretical and practical courses that include field trips to different places. Knowing different research carried out by the university at national and international level and participating in public health interventions have allowed me to observe how these works reduce rates of diseases and risks that affect society.
