RACSEL Annual Assembly

From October 22 to 25 in Bogotá, Colombia, RACSEL member countries participated in the event "Connecting the Americas: Launch of the Pan-American Highway for Digital Health (#PH4H) and Third Regional Connectathon."

The PH4H is an initiative led by the hashtag#IDB Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo, #PAHO Pan American Health Organization, and the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean.

The government of Japan is its first official donor.
