My Nonprofit Reviews

I am Colombian researcher living in Germany and England. In my interest in supporting the research in palliative care in Latin-American I contacted the International Association for Hospice and Palliative Care (IAHPC) and the Latin American Palliative Care Association (ALCP) in January 2010. I obtained a traveling scholarship in order to visit the V Congress of the Latin American Palliative Care Association (ALCP) in the beautiful city of Buenos Aires/Argentina. The aim of this meeting was building up a network of researchers in Latin America in order to promote research activities as well as the publication of studies in this continent. At the congress I have met hundreds of people from different countries in Latin America, but also from Europe, Canada and USA, who are interested in this region. The participation in the congress allowed me to have a better view in the situation of the research -and researchers- in Latin-America and to link with some research groups, with who I am planning new research projects and thinking about the best way to expand research in the continent. I hope that it was the start of a successful work together, aimed to improve the research in Latin America. Thanks to the IAHPC for this opportunity!
