The intensive care physician Nora Suligoy assured NORTE that despite the progress made, there is still a lack of promotion and education among the population regarding organ donation. With 30 years of experience in the health system, on July 18 she took over as director of Cucai Chaco.
He spoke of the distance between the good news due to the appearance of a donor and what it means to generate that possibility. And although there are more people volunteering, only a few get to donate. “We might say that it is a matter of luck, not everyone meets the characteristics,” she warns.
Suligoy insists on stating that “if someone needs a donor, we all stand in solidarity and ask; but when it is necessary to donate, it is a little more difficult to decide”. In addition, the waiting list is getting longer and for the Chaco two organs are a priority: the kidney and the liver.
This month he participated in two operations: a multi-organ one and a kidney one. He speaks of a very demanding job for health personnel and for which it is important to prepare. On Friday she met with members of the Perrando prosecution unit; he asked to work together to gain access to the organs that are needed.
From nurse to doctor
Originally from Santa Fe, Suligoy lived in Corrientes for several years before moving to Chaco, where she has lived for more than 20 years. Her professional career began as a nurse in her native province and in 1985 she began to study medicine at UNNE, while working nights at the Vidal hospital.
He remembers that 30 years ago it was difficult to access a residence: “I had to wait two years to enter the Perrando hospital and from there I continued working in intensive care until two years ago, when they appointed me to the UCCEM.”
In December 2021, during an anniversary of the Cucai Chaco, the prizes were awarded to those who contribute to the promotion of organ donation. For that opportunity, Suligoy received the distinction from the UCCEM.
It was also received by the Aeronautics Department of the province.
