RESUMEN
América Latina está compuesta por países en vías de desarrollo. Los cerca de 600 millones de habitantes exhiben una transición demográfica que combina un crecimiento significativo de la población con un fenómeno de envejecimiento poblacional progresivo. Esta región del mundo exhibe grandes retos para la salud general y la respiratoria. La mayoría de los países muestran tasas significativas, incluso mayor, de enfermedades respiratorias crónicas o de exposiciones de riesgo. La disponibilidad de recursos humanos para la salud es escasa, particularmente en cuanto a especialistas en enfermedades respiratorias se refiere. Los centros de formación académica son pocos e incluso inexistentes en la mayor parte de los países. El análisis detallado de estas condiciones permitirá reflexionar sobre los principales retos, así como sobre las propuestas para la gestión y la formación de más y mejores recursos humanos en la especialidad
ABSTRACT
Latin America is made up of a number of developing countries. Demographic changes are occurring in the close to 600 million inhabitants, in whom a significant growth in population is combined with the progressive ageing of the population. This part of the world poses great challenges for general and respiratory health. Most of the countries have significant, or even greater, rates of chronic respiratory diseases or exposure to risk. Human resources in healthcare are not readily available, particularly in the area of respiratory disease specialists. Academic training centers are few and even non-existent in the majority of the countries. The detailed analysis of these conditions provides a basis for reflection on the main challenges and proposals for the management and training of better human resources in this specialist area
