ARCHITECTURE AND ENGINEERING
It is important to highlight that currently 20 countries are part of the Latin American continent and, in the current proposals for of the Network, those absent are: Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, and the Dominican Republic (GREENE, 2018). All Groups are in the initial phase of work, but with intense content production. This initiative is another of the activities included as part of the IFHE schedule under the current IFHE President, Daniela Pedrini’s management to expand and, at the same time, consolidate, regionalised actions
among the Federation’s member associations with a view to building new strategies to promote the quality of hospital buildings. In these actions, the axes of sustainability, humanisation, and technological innovations have been the basis for the expansion of knowledge. hej
