The goal of the Conference is to analyse and
discuss how health systems, services and health professions

according to the historical, political and cultural influences
they receive over time. Participants will approach the
Conference topic from their own experiences and practices.
Community site visits to different initiatives, taking
place in the city-region of Bogotá-Cundinamarca,
will show how health services, health education institutions
and communities are adapting to rapidly changing social
conditions of the existing diverse population groups.
