Roberto Canessa
The Uruguayan pediatric cardiologist who survived the terrible plane crash over the Andes in 1972, tells us about his book published in Spain in April 2017: "I had to survive" by Pablo Vierci and Roberto Canessa, and how he has dedicated his life to children with heart disease: ‘they help us to be better doctors and people.’
