This agreement is the beginning of a fruitful collaboration that will materialize in days and scientific studies in which the City will seek the specialized support of the Academy to develop new health guides and publications, promote the celebration of International Days and informative activities.
"This agreement with the City Council allows us to open the Academy to civil society," said Dr. Clavel-Sainz, who thanked the City Council and the mayor "for the interest and collaboration that made the signing of this agreement possible."
The ultimate goal is to disseminate scientific knowledge among citizens and advance the actions of prevention and health promotion carried out by the City Council, through the Department of Sports and Health.
The Academy of Medicine will promote scientific activities in the field of health and will collaborate in the organization of informative events, as well as contribute its knowledge, experience and bibliographic funds that it has hoarded for more than 200 years.
The City of Murcia, through the Department of Sports and Health, will make available to the Academy all the necessary documentation to establish the synergies that allow to give effect to the agreement signed today.
