Professor Mogollón participated in the panel “Integration and coordination of care: the strategic role of PHC in health care networks”, presenting a paper entitled “Improving access to cancer diagnosis in public health service networks: a participatory intervention aimed at strengthening the role of primary health care in Colombia”. This presentation highlighted the experience of the EquityCancer-LA Project in Colombia, and in particular the process of designing, adapting and implementing an integrated, multi-component strategy developed within public health service networks in the department of Cundinamarca, based on a professional capacity-building strategy and a user-friendly pathway aimed at overcoming barriers to access to health services. The seminar, designed in a hybrid format, was attended by healthcare professionals and managers from integrated health service networks, representatives from municipal and state health departments, and researchers from various Latin American countries.
