With excellent attendance, outstanding presentations and a firm commitment from professionals in the sector, this congress has established itself as one of the most important academic events of the year in South America. The academic programme was carefully structured by the “Sociedad Científica de Enfermeras Especialistas en Esterilización” in Peru (SOCIENEE), with the support of the “Federación Latinoamericana de Ciencias de la Esterilización Hospitalaria” (FELACEH), and was fully aligned with current challenges, promoting the highest technical, scientific and human standards for RUMED in Latin America.
Our MIEC department – Matachana International Education Center – was also part of the academic programme, with two presentations that added value from complementary perspectives. Elena Lorenzo gave a lecture from Barcelona on the psychosocial factors that affect the emotional well-being of reprocessing centre staff, addressing with sensitivity and scientific support the technical challenges faced daily by this professional group. For her part, Giovanna Ruiz shared a technical overview of RUMED’s infrastructure, highlighting how design directly affects process efficiency, patient safety, and the well-being of those who make reprocessing possible every day.
In addition, the MATACHANA LATAM distributors’ meeting was held alongside the congress, a technical and academic space designed to share scientific updates, reinforce common technical criteria and discuss real-life experiences. The meeting highlighted MATACHANA’s added value as a company committed to excellence, always focused on promoting best practices in reprocessing.
MATACHANA would like to express its gratitude to the organisers for their hard work and commitment to scientific excellence. These types of gatherings not only strengthen technical knowledge, but also dignify the work of those who make the safe reprocessing of reusable medical devices possible every day.
Thank you to everyone who took part in this edition. See you at the next Panamerican Congress in Costa Rica in 2027!
