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.
