For the president of the entity, Dr. Henrique Salvador, holding the event in Brazil represents the recognition of the world hospital community that Brazil has plenty to offer. Says Dr. Salvador “Brazil has much to offer in service rendering. Every time there is a similar event to this one, there is a tremendous evolution in management and in the administration of the institutions. The Congress will be a most welcome motivator for the Brazilian healthcare sector”.
