I know of a paramedic in her fifties who is certain that she has chosen her profession well. Martha Zamora Mora, a nurse from Maffo town, who still works at the “Orlando Pantoja Tamayo” General Teaching Hospital in Contramaestre, was not mistaken in knowing from an early age that her decision was correct because nothing drives her more than to do good without sparing efforts or establishing differences between one and others.
Her story of dedication began as a volunteer helper for the Red Cross, an organization that helped her grow and make her dreams come true out of love and pure conviction, because she likes to help others and feels the pain of others as her own.
One of the first nurses in missions abroad
Extending her helping hand as a health brigade worker during the 70’s harvest in Baraguá, Mella municipality, was one of her first missions, an enriching experience that left her with positive experiences to become an auxiliary nurse.
Passionate about the art of caring for and saving lives, this woman demonstrates her altruistic vocation, by undertaking the knowledge of obstetrics, whose knowledge and human quality, made it possible to graduate as a Bachelor of Nursing, committed to a service of neonates and nurses.
For 20 consecutive years, the responsibility with a delivery room, put her to the test, where each delivery was an experience of two lives that must be protected with humanism and good practices.
The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela witnessed the daily heroism of Martha Zamora Mora, where she remained for 4 years giving her heart in solidarity with the satisfaction of knowing she was useful.
Her 68 years do not belie her total dedication to an emblematic hospital institution. Today, the minor surgery area gratefully embraces the wisdom of this nurse that almost every Petty Officer knows, who renews her energy every dawn to fulfill a profession that she has loved infinitely since she decided to become a paramedic.
