Also known as Andean Pact, The Cartagena Accord was signed in 1969, and marked the first step towards the Andean Community of Nations (CAN for “Comunidad Andina de Naciones) that initiates activities as such on August of 1997. The CAN is a sub regional organization with international legal jurisdiction and is composed by Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia and the organs and institutions of the Andean Integration System (AIS)

Among the organs of the Andean Integration System, the “Convenio Hipólito Unanue” (CONHU) is the organ dedicated to health. Chile, while not part of the CAN, is part of the CONHU. The CONHU holds yearly meetings of the Ministers of Health of the Andean Area (REMSAA for “ Reuniones de Ministros de Salud del Area Andina”), as well as other Health Ministers fora on different health topics, such as the Forum on Health Sector Reform.
