In his farewell speech as superintendent, Sarian made a positive assessment of his eight years of work. “The Caism is special in many ways. It is a sanctuary of welcome and excellence, dedicated to women and newborns. It was built from the idea that women's health requires multidisciplinary attention, which goes far beyond purely medical issues”, recalled the doctor. “Our founder, Dr. José Aristodemo Pinotti, recommended comprehensive care at any stage of a woman's life as a non-negotiable guarantee of the dignity and morality of caring for the feminine,” he added.
For Sarian, Caism has not distanced itself from its primary functions at any time, even in the most difficult ones, such as during the pandemic, for example. “No cancer patient was left unattended or had their treatment postponed. No management was left without support. No newborn was left without a vacancy, and no gynecological patient was left behind in their care. And that's how we got here," he said. “And I am sure that in the hands of Dr. Bennini, will remain in his advances”, concluded Sarian.

For Sarian, I can say that I hope we have contributed a lot in the years we have been together, and for Bennini, I hope that we can keep contributing to the continuity of Caism's actions”, said the dean.
The general coordinator of the University left a piece of advice to the new superintendent. “That, on your journey, don't forget to think about each piece that makes this health machine, which is Caism, turn”, she said.
