The latest events of our National University of Asuncion, which were initiated by university students, have contributed to the management improvement of several schools. In this upgrading phase, our centenarian Medical School was not exempt of this situation. Therefore, it shall be highlighted the relevant scientific contributions, in the medical practice and teaching, such as: the successful culmination of the admission system, which started years ago, the beginning of the Propedeutic Course of Admission to Medicals School at the Asuncion and Santa Rosa (San Pedro) branches, the homologation of the Academic Plan of Medical Career, as well as the first transplant of bone marrow in addition to the continuation of renal and hepatic transplants. It is also necessary to recognize the daily work of each of the members from the different Services and Chairs that integrated our Medical School, from the Professors, Adjunt faculty members, Residents, technical and administrative staff, making it possible for our School to remain as the most outstanding and pioneer in several areas.
