Dr Yamila de Armas has occupied an array of posts since finishing her residency in family medicine in her home province of Cienfuegos in 1992. She has served as a family doctor; polyclinic, municipal and provincial health director; medical school dean; and twice vice minister of public health. But few would doubt her toughest job is the one she has now: deputy director of the Havana City Provincial Health Department, in charge of medical services for the 2.2 million people living in Cuba's complex, sprawling capital. It was here in 2002-2003 that the program was launched to repair, refurbish and expand the country's nearly 500 community polyclinics. Key to the effort was equipping these facilities with a broader range of new and upgraded medical technology. Dr de Armas offers MEDICC Review her reflections on the results five years later.
自 1992 年在故乡西恩富戈斯省完成家庭医学住院医师实习以来，亚米拉·德阿马斯医生（Dr Yamila de Armas）担任过许多职务。她曾担任家庭医生、综合诊所、市和省卫生主任、医学院院长，并两次担任公共卫生部副部长。但很少有人会怀疑她现在的工作是最艰难的：哈瓦那城市省卫生部门副主任，负责为生活在古巴复杂而广阔的首都的 220 万人提供医疗服务。正是在 2002-2003 年，该计划启动，以修复、翻新和扩大该国近 500 家社区综合诊所。这项工作的关键是为这些设施配备更广泛的新型和升级的医疗技术。德阿马斯医生向 MEDICC 评论提供了她对五年后结果的反思。
