The school was celebrating its 20th anniversary. The first of its kind to be set up by one of Spain's autonomous regions, the school is today one of the country's leading public institutions focusing on international cooperation in health. It has worked closely with PAHO in the development of programs and management of projects in Latin American countries, including Argentina, Chile, the Dominican Republic, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Uruguay.
