He is undoubtedly the father of modern Galician pediatrics and one of the greats of the specialty in Spain. He completed training stays in Brussels, Paris, London and Bonn. He was and is emeritus professor of Pediatrics, dean of Medicine and President of the Spanish Society of Pediatrics. Full member of the Royal Academy of Medicine.
The vast majority of pediatricians in Galicia were trained at his side and one of his priority concerns was to promote his close collaborators, who held and hold positions of the highest academic and health rank. It can be said that Professor Peña definitively put Pediatrics in Galicia at the forefront, as a determined promoter of pediatric specialties, which contributed decisively to raising the level of care and research.
From the latter's point of view, he made contributions in different areas, but always showed a special interest in metabolism, nutrition and endocrinology. He has received the most important regional, state and international honors and awards related to pediatrics.
In 2014, at TIPiCO V, the “Professor Dr. Peña” Keynote Lecture appeared in the program for the first time. On that occasion, when we had the presence of Dr. Peña, it was Professor Castillo who inaugurated this tribute to, in the words of Prof. José Mª Martinón, “the father of modern Galician pediatrics and one of the great names in this specialty in Spain.”

Javier Ferrero (Palencia, 1943-2016), fue neumólogo, de los que “escuchan” no solo el tórax, y desempeñó su labor comoJefe de Servicio del Hospital de Liencres (Santander), y además como Profesor de la Escuela Departamental de Sanidad de Cantabria. Pero además fue un mago, capaz de trucos tan difíciles como sacar dos padres de uno, o facilitar sin aparente esfuerzo la vida diaria de todos los que le rodearon.
