Health Logistics Program

We're leading a transformative health equity initiative to deliver life-saving aid across Latin America and the Caribbean. Our generously sizable shipment, tracked via our Solidarity Shipment Index, saved countless of lives. Now, we prepare our Hurricane Disaster Relief container with critical Oral Rehydration Salts, Water Purification Tabs, Medications, Medical Kits and Surgical essentials for clinics. This is more than logistics, it’s a movement.

Innovation Through Research: Strengthening Community-Based Care Through Our Research Program

We are proud to announce that the Pan-American Medical Association will create a dedicated research lab team that integrates regional clinical expertise, multidisciplinary scientists, and community stakeholders to accelerate the development of innovative medications for curable diseases affecting the Americas and Caribbean. The program will recruit researchers from diverse backgrounds across the region, establish collaborative partnerships with local hospitals and universities, and prioritize projects based on burden of disease and unmet therapeutic needs identified through community engagement. The lab will adopt rigorous translational research pipelines, combining epidemiology, molecular biology, and clinical trial capacity-building, while ensuring regulatory compliance and ethical oversight aligned with local laws and cultural contexts. To maximize impact, the Association will invest in training and mentorship, technology transfer, and open-data initiatives that enable rapid dissemination of findings and equitable access to resulting treatments, with ongoing monitoring to measure clinical outcomes and reduce health disparities in the communities served.
