These meetings not only provided an update on medical protocols and guidelines, but also highlighted the importance of applying risk and harm reduction strategies in various conditions, addressing key issues such as problematic drug use, nicotine use, barriers to smoking cessation and smoking cessation strategies.

Likewise, psychological aspects that make smoking cessation difficult, the prevalence of smokers in Ecuador and the formulation of strategies to reduce the risk and harm of smoking were analyzed.

Pharmacologist Enrique Terán was one of the medical speakers, who pointed out that the refusal led by some health organizations to openly discuss the use of alternatives to cigarettes has not reduced consumption or the consequences of diseases associated with smoking. . “Despite not being risk-free, these alternatives significantly reduce the harms associated with smoking, under the concept of ‘risk reduction’, and are now widely used,” said the Ecuadorian doctor.

The event also explored advances in the digital transformation of the healthcare sector and discussed the ten-year health plan 2022-2031, ensuring that participants were aware of the latest trends and strategies to improve healthcare.

These conferences have been an invaluable space to share knowledge and advance towards more effective and safe practices in the field of medicine,” declared Wilson Tenorio, president of the Ecuadorian Medical Federation.
