Toni Pérez advocates the establishment of the specialty of Emergency Medicine (MUE)
Benidorm, headquarters of the XIX Semes Congress of the Valencian Community
Since yesterday, Benidorm hosts the nineteenth Congress of the Spanish Society of Emergency and Emergency Medicine (SEMES) of the Valencian Community. A multidisciplinary project in which not only emergency and emergency professionals participate, but also from other scientific societies.
The mayor of Benidorm, Toni Pérez, a member of the Congress Honorary Committee, spoke at the opening session together with the Minister of Universal Health and Public Health, Miguel Mínguez; the president of SEMES, Manuel J. Vázquez; the president of SEMES-CV, Javier Millán; and the president of the Scientific Committee of the congress, Matilde González Tejera.
Toni Pérez welcomed the hundreds of health professionals participating in the congress to Benidorm and showed his support for the specialty of Emergency and Emergency Medicine (EMU) "to be implanted" in Spain to be able to homologate ourselves with the countries of our environment.
The mayor showed his admiration for emergency and emergency professionals during the pandemic, in which they showed "courage and hoped" for the entire country. "In the moments -he said- in which we were more confined, there you were opening the doors".
In his intervention, Toni Pérez defined tourism as "medicine" for society and recalled that "in Benidorm, we like to take care of people, but even more so, take care of the people who take care of people."
The mayor ended his intervention by inviting the participants in the congress to get to know the Festes Majors Patronals that are already taking place in the city.
Previously, Miguel Mínguez made public the data of a survey carried out by the Generalitat in October 2021 in which 89% of users of public health emergency services consider that "care is adequate".
The SEMES CV congress contemplates the realization of multiple workshops and discussion tables in which the professionals of Urgencies and Emergencies exchange experiences and the technical novelties in the sector are addressed.
