Sebastián Mohar Menéndez-Aponte

Sebastián Mohar Menéndez-Aponte was born in Mexico City and has been very close to unequal access to care since a very young age because his family works at the Public National Cancer Center. This experience guided his passion to increase access and dedicate his life to improving the life of the marginalized. Sebastián studied medicine at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM) and served as a primary care physician in a rural clinic in Chiapas as his social service requirement. After graduating, he has supervised the work of other young physicians starting in the field of global health and social medicine. Currently, Sebastián is coordinating community programs to improve the care of chronic diseases with innovative approaches and also coordinating the palliative care program in our NGO. These programs have the same purpose, decrease the gap between high quality care and the people of our communities.
