Abstract

When we took on the challenge, as the Board of Directors, of leading the course of the Colombian Clinical Nutrition Association, we established pillars on which we would work in the following years: education, research, creation and strengthening of networks, and dissemination strategies. The Declaration of Cartagena is a convincing example of the union of these four paths to fulfill the mission and vision of our Association, also succeeding in influencing the rest of Latin America in the quest to achieve a higher good, a timely medical nutritional therapy, adequate, fair, equitable and in conditions of human dignity, recognizing the patient as a fragile person with rights and committing the health team as guardians of these rights.
