Reed Medicina If all physicians are detectives, using their skills to track down what ails body and mind, then epidemiologists are medicine’s social detectives, using their training to understand the great calamities of population health. For over 30 years, Dr José Moya has worked in the field since his initial position as head of epidemiology in Ayacucho, in his home country of Peru. His journey into global health began with Doctors Without Borders in Guatemala, Mozambique and Nigeria. Later at PAHO, he was Permanent Representative in Venezuela, after earlier postings as an epidemiologist in Haiti, Mexico, Brazil, the Dominican Republic and Argentina.Dr Moya has faced down epidemics of malaria, dengue, yellow fever and bubonic plague, and also rampant chronic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes. Yet undoubtedly he has seen nothing like COVID-19 in the Americas, where at this writing 17 million cases have ravaged Latin America and the United States is the pandemic’s epicenter in the hemisphere and the world. In 2019, Dr Moya became PAHO/WHO Permanent Representative in Cuba, shortly before COVID-19 presented itself. Eight months later, as most of Cuba began its “new normal” phase with new cases waning, MEDICC Review spoke with the epidemiologist about conditions on the ground and Cuba’s response to COVID-19. 2020 artículo científico 1555-7960 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=437565248015 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4375/437565248015/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4375/437565248015/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4375/437565248015/437565248015.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4375/437565248015/movil https://doi.org/10.37757/MR2020.V22.N4.12 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=4375 MEDICC Review application/pdf Medical Education Cooperation with Cuba MEDICC Review (Estados Unidos de América) Num.4 Vol.22 |
