Mexico Concludes Major International Health Congress

The Government of the State of Mexico concluded the Second International Congress on Health and Well-being, an event that brought together over 9,000 people over seven consecutive days and featured more than 140 academic and formative activities, including keynote lectures, workshops, symposiums, roundtables, presentations, and cultural visits. The discussions were structured around nine thematic modules that addressed both technical advances and emerging challenges in the healthcare sector. The modules covered: Legal aspects in medicine and humanization of care; Innovation and efficiency in transplants, as well as tissue donation and transplantation; Transfusion medicine: from theory to practice; Pharmacovigilance and technovigilance; Comprehensive care for the burn patient; Rehabilitation; Laboratory epidemiological surveillance; and Primary health care. The congress, designed as a space for multidisciplinary updating, reaffirmed the strategic importance of continuous training to strengthen health systems. At the closing ceremony, Macarena Montoya Olvera, State Secretary of Health, emphasized that collective work and the institutional vision of health as a foundation for social well-being consolidate the premise that investing in health means investing in equity, development, and future, a focus that guided every activity of the congress. Held from November 17th to 23rd, the event brought together 169 national and 24 international speakers from the United States, Cuba, Spain, Venezuela, Brazil, Argentina, Puerto Rico, and Colombia, who shared their knowledge with professionals and students from various medical fields. The state government reinforces its commitment to quality, compassionate, and humanistic services.
