Fundación Pérez Scremini shared a post on LinkedIn:
“It is with great pride that we share that Ney Castillo, founder and medical advisor of Pérez Scremini, was recognized in the Contemporary Heroes of the Bicentennial program of the House of Representatives of Uruguay.
This recognition distinguishes people and institutions that, through their commitment and trajectory, generate a positive impact on society and contribute to the common good.
Over the years, Ney has been a key figure in transforming childhood cancer care, both nationally and internationally. Her leadership and commitment have contributed to consolidating a model of comprehensive, humane and excellent care that today accompanies thousands of children, adolescents and their families.
We celebrate this well-deserved recognition of a career that inspires and demonstrates how vocation, continuous training, effort and collective work can change lives.”
Guillermo Chantada, Head of the Outreach Program at Hospital Sant Joan de Déu and Scientific Director of the Perez Scremini Foundation, shared a post by Fundación Pérez Scremini, adding:
“A well-deserved recognition to a great teacher of Lstino-American pediatric oncology. Ney is an example for all oncologists in the region.”
