What a journey it’s been for Prof. Jacques Marescaux in Latin America!
He was named “Honorary Citizen of the city of Buenos Aires”, at the Governor’s Palace. The diploma was presented by Deputy Maria Sol Mendez, in charge of health at the Parliament, who praised the close collaboration between IRCAD and the Argentinean surgical community.
He was then named “Guest of Honor” of the Maldonado province, seat of the Uruguayan Congress of Surgery by Mayor Enrique Antia. In addition, the president of the congress presented him with a diploma of “Honorary Member” of the Uruguayan Society of Surgery.
