Overview

"It is difficult to remain strong when facing news of a cancer recurrence or situations when the progression of a disease conditions the decline of the patient."

Cynthia Mayté Villarreal Garza devotes her work towards women who suffer from breast cancer. She has two goals: to achieve early detection and to administer appropriate treatment that increases the recovery rate. In addition, she promotes initiatives that help women confront the illness in the best possible way in order to continue their lives with strength. 

Dr. Villarreal has published more than 120 papers in international journals, and is an opinion leader in breast cancer nationally and internationally.

She is the head of the Oncology Department at the Breast Cancer Center in Hospital Zambrano Hellion. Combining her medical career with her interest in research, she has taken practical action towards the care and education of her patients, with whom she establishes a close relation to provide guidance and support. She has even started an awareness project on metastatic breast cancer with the intention of encouraging assistance with services such as palliative medicine and care, nutrition, rehabilitation and psychology. 

As director of the Joven & Fuerte [Young & Strong] program, Villarreal Garza optimizes clinical care to assist both patients and their families. As head of the Alerta Rosa [Pink Alert] program for Asociación MILC (Médicos e Investigadores en la Lucha Contra el Cáncer de Mama), her goal is to reduce assistance times by classifying and prioritizing women with mammary symptoms or abnormal tests. And the Genetic Counseling Program for Breast Cancer Risk, implemented in TecSalud hospitals, has granted access to genetic testing for resource-scarce communities.

Ciclo de conferencia "Inspirar para Transformar" con Mariana Mazzucato

Rethinking the State to deliver inclusive and sustainable growth: from market fixing to market shaping.

Professor Mariana Mazzucato will talk about the need for rethinking the state, away from simply fixing “market failures” towards actively shaping and creating markets that deliver growth that is inclusive and sustainable. She will discuss the need for more ‘mission oriented’ policies (which she has helped design globally, including in the EC’s horizon programme) which require a new social contract between public and private sectors to share both risks and rewards. This cannot happen without stronger public sector capacity and capabilities, which in her latest book, The Big Con, she argues has been outsourced away to consultants. During her talk she will also refer to the work she is doing in two global commissions she chairs: the World Health Organization Council on the Economics of Health for All and the Global Commission on the Economics of Water. In her talk she will highlight the lessons for Latin America, drawing on her publication with the UN’s Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) called: Transformational Change in Latin America and the Caribbean: A mission-oriented approach.

Ciclo de conferencia "Inspirar para Transformar" con Mariana Mazzucato

Repensar el Estado para lograr un crecimiento inclusivo y sostenible: desde la concertación hasta la conformación del mercado.

La profesora Mariana Mazzucato hablará sobre la necesidad de repensar el Estado, lejos de simplemente corregir las “fallas del mercado” y enfocando activamente la configuración y la creación de mercados que generen un crecimiento inclusivo y sostenible. Discutirá la necesidad de políticas más “orientadas a la misión” (las cuales ha ayudado a diseñar a nivel mundial, incluido el programa horizonte de la EC) que requieren un nuevo contrato social entre los sectores público y privado para compartir riesgos y recompensas. Esto no puede suceder sin una mayor capacidad del sector público, que según ella, en su último libro, The Big Con, se ha subcontratado a consultores. Durante su charla también se referirá al trabajo que está realizando en dos comisiones globales que preside: el Consejo de Economía de la Salud para Todos de la Organización Mundial de la Salud y la Comisión Global sobre Economía del Agua. En su charla resaltará las lecciones para América Latina, basándose en su publicación con la Comisión Económica para América Latina y el Caribe (CEPAL) de la ONU llamada: Cambio transformacional en América Latina y el Caribe: un enfoque orientado a la misión.
