Hospiten participated in the XLIX Scientific Conference organized by Hospital Paitilla, a Panamanian hospital that is also part of Hospiten, held on July 18 and 19 at the Las Americas Golden Tower hotel in Panama City. The event, which focused on innovation in Health Sciences, brought together medical professionals, students and other healthcare workers with the participation of Dr. Walter Plasencia and Dr. Carlos Blanco-Soler.

The first day of the event was marked by different round tables, where specialists addressed current issues with a particular focus on the use of artificial intelligence in modern medicine. Among the speakers from the United States, Panama and Spain, the director of the Fetal Medicine Unit at Hospiten Rambla and Hospiten Sur University Hospitals, Dr. Walter Plasencia, highlighted the significant advances in the diagnosis of fetal malformations in the first trimester of gestation and in the prediction and prevention of preeclampsia.

During his participation in the congress, Dr. Plasencia also stressed the importance of technological advances and professional training that "have enabled effective fetal anatomical evaluation in the early stages of pregnancy, improving the detection and treatment of serious anomalies such as cardiac or central nervous system malformations, as well as abdominal wall or limb defects, among others".

Modern management of obesity was the theme of the second day. In it, the head of Gynecology and Obstetrics at Hospiten Roca, Dr. Carlos Blanco-Soler, addressed the link with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and fertility and introduced the new perspectives in the treatment of obesity, as well as the change of paradigm in the diagnostic and therapeutic approach. In this regard, he highlighted the importance of an approach focused on adiposity and metabolic health in women with PCOS.

During the days of the event, as well as in the pre-days held on July 17, round tables moderated by experts were included, which allowed an exchange of knowledge and experiences among the participants.

The XLIX Scientific Day not only served as a platform for the presentation of scientific and technological advances, but also as a space to strengthen international collaboration in the field of health sciences.
