Mission completed. On Apr 28 we hosted our first Ibero-American webinar to offer a virtual space for the Spanish speaking Health Community. Our aim, to exchange perspectives, solutions and ideas and moreover facilitate knowledge transfer as a response to COVID-19.
With our kick-off event we managed to leverage the knowledge exchange among several countries, initiating a dialogue to open up opportunities and speed up solutions in times of COVID-19. Being thrilled by all the initiatives and projects presented with a high focus on innovative solutions and the openness to strengthen collaborative models, we are now intensively working on defining with our partners a way forward to foster and extend cross-border collaboration efforts by a need-led conversation.
Very special thanks go out to our partners:
Cluster Médico Jalisco, UMA Health, Smart People, cibersalud and Revista Salud Digital Latinoamérica
Together, we were able to build a diverse agenda (access full agenda). We were able to feature 6 countries from the Ibero-American region, sharing insights and innovation with an audience across countries from France, Germany, United States, Chile, Spain, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia and Brasil.

Approach: Based on the following questions
- What are your priorities for improvement in your health care system?
