Thus, the group for a better country, of Dr. Simi, endorsed its commitment to health and education by sponsoring the Aymette Medina Jorge, STEM teacher -specialized in the teaching of science, technology, engineering and mathematics -an initiative that transcends the pharmaceutical field for position themselves as a driver of science in Latin America.
On board the aircraft that rose on May 31, they traveled Six civil passengers: Aymette Medina Jorge; Dr. Gretchen Green; Jaime German; Jesse Williams; Mark Rocket; and Paul Jeris.

Víctor González Herrera, CEO of the company, declared that “sponsorship is not an advertising message: It is an investment in the next generation of health and science professionals.
