Abstract:

In Mexico, patients seek help when the disease is advanced. The working proposal is: to increase the number of referral centers, to increase the availability of new drugs, to improve physician and patient education, and to establish the Diagnosis and Treatment Consensus.In Colombia, the Scientific-Technical Committee is developing strategies to diagnose the disease in its early stages, to develop continuing education, and to increase the number of referral centers for different duties. Another idea of the working parties is to encourage patients to carry with them an electronic summary (USB), in case of emergency medical attention.In Venezuela, the proposed goals were the following: improved access to drugs, more information to patients, psychological support, helping patients with the expenses.In Latin America, Societies of Patients with Pulmonary Hypertension offer impulse to public and private institutions. They should be regarded as an example for development and expansion in other countries, which would have a positive impact on the conditions of life of patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension in Latin America.
