67th National Medical Congress 2025: Practice, Knowledge, Innovation
This edition's theme focused on "Practice, Knowledge, Innovation: Joining Forces in Medicine." Experts, researchers, and professionals from different health disciplines shared knowledge, experiences, and new practices that strengthen our work and the well-being of patients.
Based on consolidated knowledge and clinical experience, innovative approaches have been developed to address the challenges facing global health. From early disease detection to the prevention of new infectious agents, including health promotion strategies and the implementation of cutting-edge treatments, we will explore the future of healthcare together.
Artificial Intelligence for Global Health Research and the Antonio Vidal Institute participated in the 67th COMENAC 2025 National Medical Congress (COMENAC 2025), held from July 9 to 12, 2025, in San Pedro Sula, Honduras. COMENCA 2025 is organized by the Honduran Medical Association and is the most important medical event in the country. It brings together health professionals, researchers, academics, and students to share experiences, generate new alliances, and strengthen scientific knowledge. With a hybrid format (in-person and virtual), the congress offers a strategic space for academic exchange, continuing education, and health innovation.
The scientific program included open presentations, including the experience of Dr. Bryain Maradiaga, Regional Coordinator for Latin America and the Caribbean of AI4GH for TGHN. The open presentation, entitled "Strengthening Health Systems and Research through Shared Strategies in a Global Community of Practice," describes the challenges and benefits of using digital tools and hybrid formats, facilitating an iterative process of learning and adaptive implementation that seeks to improve regional health systems and research ecosystems through the responsible use of artificial intelligence in health, with a special focus on sexual and reproductive health, and preparedness, prevention, and response to epidemics and pandemics.
The Compendium of Abstracts is available as a COMENAC 2025 Supplement to the Revista Médica Hondureña.
This paper explores the connection between AI solutions and global health, identifying evidence gaps and opportunities to utilize AI responsibly to combat health inequity and strengthen health systems. This proposed research landscape addresses global health trends and issues while establishing prerequisites like regulation, data quality, gender equality, ethics, and equitable Global South-led partnerships. It proposes three entry points for research: health services, community surveillance, and individual health. Evaluating AI development and deployment is critical, and ensuring scaling is a thoughtful choice. Responsible scaling can address vulnerabilities and improve lives, aiming for strong, resilient health systems. AI can either reduce or worsen health inequities. By strategically advancing research, the Global South can influence the creation of equitable, rights-based AI solutions

Strengthening Health Systems through Responsibile AI
This paper explores the connection between AI solutions and global health, identifying evidence gaps and opportunities to utilize AI responsibly to combat health inequity and strengthen health systems. AI advances the management of diseases through diagnostics, preventive care, healthcare planning, clinical decision-making, public health surveillance, drug discovery, and health threat responses. However, evidence on AI’s application in global health is lagging. The responsible use of AI must focus on knowledge gaps, ethical implications, and the needs of underserved populations, particularly from a Global South perspective. This proposed research landscape addresses global health trends and issues while establishing prerequisites like regulation, data quality, gender equality, ethics, and equitable Global South-led partnerships. It proposes three entry points for research: health services, community surveillance, and individual health. Evaluating AI development and deployment is critical, and ensuring scaling is a thoughtful choice. Responsible scaling can address vulnerabilities and improve lives, aiming for strong, resilient health systems.
AI can either reduce or worsen health inequities. By strategically advancing research, the Global South can influence the creation of equitable, rights-based AI solutions. Donors and research organizations must prevent AI from perpetuating inequalities. This landscape ignites discussions that lead to action, guiding global research toward achieving the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.

As part of the Global Clinical Research Pathways Project, the Academy of Medical Sciences, one of the National Academies of the United Kingdom, in collaboration with the National Academy of Medicine of Brazil and the National Academy of Sciences of Brazil, has developed the Workshop: Clinical Research Pathways Latin America. This workshop will establish a global working group focused on clinical research pathways in various regions across the Global South. This session is based in Latin America and will unite researchers from The Global Health Network Latin America and the Caribbean and other practice communities, such as AI4GH, with representation of Dr. Bryain Maradiaga, including participants from Honduras, Colombia, and Peru.
The workshop, scheduled for December 10 and 11, 2024, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, will emphasize enhancing institutional capacity to support and empower clinical research professionals. It will also facilitate knowledge sharing on solutions among participants from Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
The workshop will spotlight four main working groups: Infrastructure, Training Opportunities, Funding for Research Career Development, and Research Governance. It aims to gather data on the current landscape of clinical researchers' academic careers, identify challenges, formulate recommendations, and create proposals. This initiative is poised to advance the leadership in research that LAC promotes, with active involvement from health professionals at the School Hospital and partner institutions.
The IX Congress of the Central American and Caribbean Association of Infectology (ACENCAI) will occur from December 10 to 12, 2024, in Tegucigalpa, Honduras.

Regional hubs catalyze AI to improve women's health
The Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) target for maternal mortality is not being met, and there are still high rates of child marriage and teen pregnancy. Additionally, there are significant gaps in access to contraception, safe abortion, post-abortion care, and comprehensive sexual and maternal health education. The field of maternal, sexual, and reproductive health (MSRH) is particularly lagging, but there are significant opportunities and risks associated with AI that could help improve the situation.
The AI4GH initiative by IDRC is working to fund researchers in low- and middle-income countries to develop responsible AI solutions that can improve MSRH for women and girls in a more effective and equitable manner. The initiative has established four regional hubs to support the capacity of regional and local institutions to oversee research and build research networks, with each one designed to advance MSRH and rights while strengthening health systems within their respective region through the responsible development of AI innovations.
Read more about these four Partner's Hubs:
- Latin America and the Caribbean: Center for Artificial Intelligence and Health for Latin America and the Caribbean (CLIAS)
- Africa: Hub for Artificial Intelligence in Maternal, Sexual and Reproductive Health in Africa (HASH)
- South Asia: Precision Health Consultants (PHC Global), AI-SAROSH
