Bernardo José Gastélum Izabal (August 4, 1886 in Culiacán – December 21, 1981 in Mexico City) was a Mexican physician, politician,[1] and writer.
During his second period he turned it in the University of Occident, today Universidad Autónoma de Sinaloa.
[6] It was he, who asked Ezequiel A. Chávez, president of the Universidad Nacional de México, to come up with a project that would ensure the university's autonomy, but without success.
[7] From 1925 to 1928, President Plutarco Elias Calles named him as Chief of the Health Department in Mexico, transforming it into what we know now as "Secretaría de Salubridad".
In 1932 he was chief of the department of health of Sinaloa, and from 1938 to 1947 director of the Escuela Preparatoria (preparatory school).
