In a creative and close encounter with Dr. José Narro, young students from the medical and health sciences ran their concerns, after listening to the Minister of Health's lecture, "Building our way."

They received Dr. Jose Narro during his visit to Hermosillo, Sonora, a state of Mexico, with whom they engaged in an open and close dialogue.

Dr. Narro gave them a recount of where we are as a country. He spoke of a Mexico with an age-old culture and important figures in its history, science, literature and culture.

Names such as Miguel León Portilla, Octavio Paz, Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz, Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo, Rosario Castellanos, Ignacio Chávez and many other personalities were mentioned by the Minister of Health, who stated categorically that "Mexico's greatness is its people".

He also stressed the importance of education as a trigger for productivity, innovation and change. "Without education there is no way to resolve issues," he said.

Before a large audience of young people, José Narro exhorted the students to build their path, "a path full of possibilities" and invited them to dream, to build utopias to imagine the future they want to reach. "The future," he told them, "is what we do today, that's what we're working on today. It is not chance. "

He also asked them to imagine the construction of this path as a journey, a journey for which values ​​such as humility, honesty, perseverance, teamwork, responsibility, audacity and compass are indispensable. That must lead to happiness."
