Many Jewish as well as non-Jewish doctors were the recipients of citations by the Argentine Academy of Medicine for their contributions to the progress of medicine in various fields. At the same time, Dr. Natalio Morduchowicz, a skin disease specialist at the Jewish Hospital here, was designated to represent Argentina at an international convention which took place in Poland Oct. 4-8 and at another congress in Tunis Oct. 9-13. The citations and the designation are taken as evidence that there is no discrimination against Jewish physicians in Argentina.
