From June 10 to 14, the XVII CCI LATAM Conference took place in Cali, Colombia!

It was an inspiring week of connection, shared learning, and regional collaboration bringing together key voices from SLAOP, PAHO, ACHOP, CCI LATAM, and St. Jude, all united in their mission to improve childhood cancer care across Latin America.

A special highlight of the week: after nine years of dedicated leadership, Dr. Marcela Zubieta handed over the leadership of CCI LATAM to Javier Galvan. Marcela will continue supporting the region as Vice Chair.

Another milestone moment was the presentation by PAHO and strategic partners of the first collaborative study on the current situation of childhood cancer survivors in the region—a major step forward for survivor care (learn more here).

Alejandra Méndez, CCI Vice President, and Carl Queiros, CCI Executive Director, joined the full conference, reaffirming CCI’s global commitment to the Latin American region.

This conference was more than just a meeting—it was a celebration of a growing community, moving forward with purpose, unity, and hope.
We can’t wait to come together again for the next edition of this  gathering!
