Health Table for the Improvement and Strengthening of the Comprehensive Health System
The Health Table for the Improvement and Strengthening of the Comprehensive Health System was part of a process of dialogue implemented between 2014 and 2015. The table responded to the mandate of the President of the Republic at the time, Juan Carlos Varela Rodríguez. 14 health and patient organizations and two state institutions participated through their representatives: the Ministry of Health and the Social Security Fund. The central objective was to collaborate on the transformation of the health system in Panama and to develop a State policy for the health sector.
