Open Table Philosophy: Establishment of the Integrated and End-of-Life Care Working Group in the Latin American Region

Abstract

The document describes the creation of a collaborative, inclusive working group focused on integrated and end-of-life care tailored to Latin America’s unique social, cultural, and health contexts. It emphasizes a horizontal, open dialogue approach that values diverse perspectives, community participation, and ethical principles such as respect, dignity, autonomy, and social justice. The group aims to foster public policy development, interdisciplinary training, collaborative research, and the sharing of successful regional experiences to strengthen care practices in the region.
