Past Meetings
Health Leadership Forum
TecSalud held the eighth edition of the International Health Leadership Forum (FILS) 2022, on November 3-4 in Mexico City, Mexico. In collaboration with AAHCI, this forum contributed to the strengthening of the health ecosystem in Mexico and the world, proposing actions that raise the quality of services and medical infrastructure in favor of patients.
According to Dr. Jorge Valdez, dean of TecSalud and AAHCI LAC Regional Ambassador, holding this type of space for exchanging ideas becomes more relevant in the post-pandemic scenario. “In FILS, diverse points of view converge between leaders of public and private sector institutions, who present the greatest advances in the field of research, public policies, education, and health care,” said Valdez. "Only with a comprehensive vision that allows us to listen to different opinions, we will be able to find the best way to face challenges and propose concrete solutions."

AAHCI-LAC Webinar | Impact of Research during COVID-19
AAHCI LAC regional office host University of São Paulo Medical School (FMUSP ) organized a Webinar on the “Impact of Research during COVID-19”. Research and development is a core function of academic health centers, and as the world is tackling the COVID-19 pandemic, many institutions have had to reprogram – or event shut down many – “non-essential” research projects in favor of work on the novel coronavirus. In some nations, there is concern about the impact of shifting attention away from research for other diseases, such as production of malaria, HIV, and tuberculosis tests. With lockdowns and resource shifting, there are limitations, challenges, and lessons learned for researchers which will be addressed in this Webinar of the LAC region, including a US perspective.
