In a historic development for Hadassah International, 15 Latin American (LATAM) Ambassadors in Israel held the first meeting of the recently created Hadassah Health LATAM Ambassadors Forum. This Forum is a result of the successful medical collaborations organized by Hadassah International (HI)and the Hadassah Medical Organization (HMO) in South America and aims to help to further develop these collaborations with HMO.
Ambassadors representing most of the LATAM countries attended this special event hosted by the Argentinian Ambassador to Israel, Sergio Daniel Urribarri, and included the Ambassadors from Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, The Dominican Republic, and Uruguay.
The HI team, led by Jorge Diener, HI Executive Director, facilitated this meeting as part of Hadassah International’s mission to build bridges at multiple levels between Hadassah and South American and Central American countries.
The Ambassadors’ meeting concluded with a resolution whereby all the participating embassies, representing their respective countries, will invite the Secretaries/Ministers of Health of their own country to an initial Virtual Conference to be held soon.
