I think if there's one thing everyone could ask for today, it's connectivity. This requires the health sector to understand more telecommunications but for the telecommunications sector to understand more about the health sector, and for there to be a dialogue table where decisions are made collectively, and that all of this is then transformed into regulations, into legislation, because we can bring connectivity, but if legislation does not authorize medicine it is the same as nothing.

Durante el evento virtual realizado del 13 al 16 de octubre, se abordaron temas sobre el desarrollo econ\u00f3mico y el bienestar social, transformaci\u00f3n digital en gobierno y sistemas de salud, colaboraciones entre sectores p\u00fablico y privado, el rol de los ciudadanos en la salud y la econom\u00eda como conductores de desarrollo social. Sobre esos temas, surgieron conversaciones sobre el proceso de transformaci\u00f3n digital en Am\u00e9rica Latina, y c\u00f3mo los gobiernos deben invertir en conectividad e infraestructura para lograr reducir brecha. Ante ello expertos coincidieron en que los sectores p\u00fablico y privado deben realizar colaboraciones funcionales. En su participaci\u00f3n, Marcelo D\u2019Agostino quien se desempe\u00f1a como Asesor senior de Sistemas de Informaci\u00f3n y Salud digital en la Organizaci\u00f3n Panamericana de la Salud (OPS), hizo \u00e9nfasis en que los procesos de transformaci\u00f3n comienzan desde la educaci\u00f3n superior. \u201cEs esencial que la academia eduque desde ya sobre \u00e1reas como el an\u00e1lisis de informaci\u00f3n y la interoperabilidad para que los nuevos profesionales del sector lleguen a implementar este tipo de herramientas. Finalmente, la transformaci\u00f3n digital debe apoyarse en la comunicaci\u00f3n estrat\u00e9gica para lograr acciones s\u00f3lidas y luchar contra fen\u00f3menos perjudiciales, como la infodemia\u201d. Sobre el manejo de la pandemia y como la tecnolog\u00eda, ciencia de datos y medios digitales han sido herramientas utilizadas por diversos gobiernos en Latinoam\u00e9rica, Juan Gil, asesor del Ministerio de Salud P\u00fablica de Uruguay, resalt\u00f3 el trabajo realizado en su pa\u00eds, \u201cse dise\u00f1\u00f3 una estrategia digital que gener\u00f3 que personas podr\u00edan reportar s\u00edntomas y una vez que presentaban s\u00edntomas se generaba un pasaje hacia el restador de salud\u201d. D\u2019Agostino explic\u00f3 que la pandemia \u201caceler\u00f3 la concientizaci\u00f3n de la necesidad de que es necesario un cambio la transformaci\u00f3n digital del mundo. Yo creo que, si hay algo que todo el mundo pudiera pedir hoy, es conectividad. Eso requiere que el sector salud entienda m\u00e1s de telecomunicaciones pero que el sector de telecomunicaciones entienda m\u00e1s del sector salud, y que haya una mesa de di\u00e1logo donde se tomen decisiones de manera colectiva, y que todo eso despu\u00e9s se transforme en normativas, en legislaci\u00f3n, porque podemos llevar conectividad, pero si la legislaci\u00f3n no autoriza a tener medicina es lo mismo que nada. Es como un rompecabezas en donde cada uno tiene un rol\u201d.
