Participants
The “Alfonso Gumucio Reyes” public
hospital, located in the municipality
of Montero (Santa Cruz), was selected
as the Community Health Program as
a part of the XII International Course
on Advances in Gastroenterology and
Digestive Endoscopy. There were 80
health professionals (including physi-cians,
surgeons, nurses, social workers,
and technicians), all of whom were
volunteers committed to the health
needs of people of low resources and
less attention in terms of medium and
high complexity of digestive diseases.
A total of 131 patients suffering of di-gestive
diseases attended the hospital
over two days.
As part of the program, organizers
installed in the Hospital of Montero
equipment for ultrasound, endoscopy,
laparoscopic surgery, and transient
elastography. This was the first time
that transient elastography equipment
was installed in Bolivia for the evalua-tion
of chronic liver diseases.
The Bolivian Association of
Sovereign Military and Hospitalary
Order of Malta provided medicines
and other supplies in order to assure
that treatments were totally covered
for patients, in consideration of the
social and economic conditions of the
Montero population.
Considering the impact of the
educational, training, and social ac-tion
programs that the WGO La Paz
Training Center has carried out since
2005 for benefit of young specialists
in Latin America and populations of
low access to health treatment, we
believe that the program must con-tinue
in the future focused in the new
generation of specialists and principles
that the World Gastroenterology Or-ganisation
has defined for the Training
Centers program.
