Citizen Law Initiative for the Creation of the Professional College of Medicine and Surgery of Nicaragua
The Citizen Law Initiative for the Creation of the Professional College of Medicine and Surgery arose with the objective of integrating and regulating ethics and deontology to Nicaraguan doctors through the promotion of scientific development and the defense of their professional rights. To this end, the medical union - through the Boards of Directors of each specialization - drafted a bill called "Law of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Nicaragua", which was presented to the Health, Social Security and Welfare Commission of the National Assembly. The Law was approved in 2009.
