Linking health care needs and technology across the continent             
An independent forum for patient care and technology support.

Welcome 

Welcome to PAHCE 2010 - Pan American Health Care Exchanges Conference, Workshops, and Exhibits, an opportunity for cooperation / linkages and professional enrichment.

The PAHCE 2010 meeting takes place in Lima (City of Kings) which is a city steeped in history and culture, impressing visitors who stroll through its streets. Today this great city is the capital of the Republic of Peru.  The organizing team for PAHCE 2010 wishes conference attendees to enjoy workshops, academic activities, and the Technology Exhibition. In addition, we have cultural activities, traditional food, and national monuments to enjoy.

We hope that domestic and international attendees enjoy their stay during PAHCE 2010 and become aware of the Rebagliati Hospital ESSALUD. We would like to acknowledge the support of Dr. Shimabuku, Director of the Instituto Nacional de Salud del Niño (INSN) to ensure the success of the Workshops in this conference.  Finally, we want to thank Eng. Mery Vidal and Eng. Walter Ríos Directors of the Clinical Engineering Unit from INSN for their valuable support in the organization of this Conference and Workshops.
