Abstract
La Sociedad Latinoamericana de Gastroenterología, Hepatología y Nutrición Pediátrica (SLAGHNP), a través de su Comité de Endoscopía y Procedimientos, ha realizado una evaluación cuantitativa y cualitativa de los Centros de Endoscopía Pediátrica (CEP) y de los Centros de Entrenamiento en Endoscopía Digestiva Pediátrica (CEEDP) de 13 países latinoamericanos. Simultáneamente hemos investigado la existencia de criterios para la obtención de la certificación de competencia en endoscopía pediátrica y de la disponibilidad en la región de centros para la realización de otros procedimientos de carácter diagnóstico tales como impedancia, manometría, etc. La información contenida en el presente informe permite realizar un diagnóstico de la situación de la endoscopía pediátrica en Latinoamérica, identificar áreas de mayor desarrollo y promover la elaboración de planes de intercambio, actividades académicas y programas de certificación que contribuyan y favorezcan el acceso de la población a una mejor calidad de los servicios especializados de endoscopía pediátrica diagnóstica, terapéutica y avanzada.
