Furthermore, in 2024, he led a team of hundreds of volunteers to address the effects of the DANA in southeastern Spain, showcasing his commitment to social action and his management capabilities in emergency situations. His academic background is complemented by an MBA and a Master’s in Leadership for Funeral Enterprises, further establishing his profile as a leader in this specialized sector.
The ceremony, hosted by journalist Jesús Álvarez, also recognized eight other healthcare professionals, including doctors from various disciplines and foundations that have made significant contributions to biomedical research. Dr. David Abejón, president of the Society, emphasized that the awardees represent a commitment to advancement, ethics, and excellence in caring for people.
This award not only celebrates Mulero’s accumulated work but also affirms the crucial importance of his efforts in the future of specialized health training in Europe and Latin America, reaffirming his role as a pioneer in the funeral sector and his ability to act as a bridge between technique, legislation, and human dignity.
