The Honorable Dr. Ricardo Navarro Suay after joining the Spanish Armed Forces decided to pursue his second vocation and study Medicine at the University of Valencia to join the Military Health Corps. He has more than 25 years of experience in the Health Area, stationed at the Rota Naval Base in Cadiz, at the General Air Academy in San Javier, Murcia, at the Military School of Health and at the Central Defense Hospital Gomez Ulla in Madrid.

He has been able to participate in 12 missions across 4 continents, 2 oceans and in the Mediterranean Sea, integrating international organizations such as NATO, EU and UN performing his duties as a Medical Specialist. In this context, he was one of the Military Anesthesiologists who participated in "Operation Balmis" against the COVID-19 pandemic, both in the military hospital and in the critical care unit of IFEMA.
