Welcome

Welcome to PAHCE 2009 - Pan American Health Care Exchanges Conference, workshops, and exhibits, an opportunity for cooperation, linkages, and professional enrichment. The PAHCE 2009 meeting takes place in the dynamic and colossal city of Mexico which is not only rich in culture but also a place of many health care institutions, research institutes, universities and industrial activities. The organizing team for PAHCE 2009 wants conference attendees to enjoy workshops, academic activities, and the Technology Exhibition. In addition, we have cultural activities to enjoy traditional food and national monuments.

We hope that domestic and international attendees enjoy their stay during PAHCE 2009, become aware of the modern facilities of the National Rehabilitation Institute. We want to acknowledge the support of Dr. Luis Guillermo Ibarra, Director of the INR to ensure the success of the conference.
