Juan Pablo Holguín, a professor at the Faculty of Medicine and compiler of the book, mentioned that this book has “many ideas, many proposals, reflections, which in turn anticipate several discussions that are raised at the congress. This book reflects what is known so far, what is still under debate and what could be questioned to continue generating more learning. Behind each page there is intention, there is academic rigor,” he emphasized.
