Welcome Letter

Dear IFMSA Family,

It’s with immense pleasure that the Medical Students’ Association of Panama, officially welcome you to the 70th IFMSA August Meeting General Assembly. The planning of this GA started when the Executive Board of IFMSA Panama 2019-2020 decides to apply to the August Meeting 2020 in the 69th version of the event that has been taking place since 1951, unfortunately the pandemic experienced by COVID-19 at the beginning of 2020 which left us mainly with the absence of invaluable human losses while showing how unprepared we were as humanity to fight a pandemic. As a NMO we risk applying for an August Meeting 2021 this time celebrating the 70 years of our federation because this was a dream for us, and we are working for it. We are now learning new ways to keep up to date and new ways to communicate. Recent innovations in information technology now are available to share knowledge and remain connected. We invite you to explore Universal Health Coverage together in the August Meeting. We saw it as an important field in global health, UHC guarantees that all people and communities have access to quality health services, while ensuring that accessing these services does not push them into financial hardship. Focusing on the common good, human dignity and social justice. A critical component to achieving Universal Health Coverage is strong, resilient health systems, specifically in low-income and fragile settings. We are ready to give you an August Meeting General Assembly, full of new experiences and a ride of emotions that will impact on our 140 NMO. we committed to make you fall in love with Panama’s enchant and people and live its renewing details day by day. Don’t miss this chance. Words cannot fully explain how happy we are too welcome IFMSA family to the country of 75,845km2 of endless adventures, where true magic occurs and to the bridge of the world. We do hope that you will enjoy your time with us as we gear up to a "PanamazingExperience'' at the 70th IFMSA August Meeting. Remember #PanamaEsLaQueEs! We look forward to your participation for the opportunity to exchange medical knowledge and ideas. Best regards, The Organizing Committee

Welcome Letter From IFMSA President Dear National Member Organisations, Dear medical students worldwide, It is with my greatest pleasure to address you for the invitation to IFMSA 70th General Assembly August Meeting 2021 in Panama. After one year of doubts, fears, fatigues, and longing for the new normal, we can finally announce to you that the IFMSA Executive Board and the Organising Committee from Panama are now at the technical stage exploring possible approaches for a hybrid General Assembly meeting, the first one in IFMSA history and perhaps also a pioneering attempts in the post-pandemic world. We are still not 100% sure how the world will look like this August. We are still navigating the hybrid format of an IFMSA event and are challenged by some familiar issues,yet in a different way, including the timezone issues, financial stability of the OC, and the agenda settings. Fortunately, the OC from Panama has been effortlessly working and creative. We are looking forward to further discussing with the OC on how this very first hybrid GA meeting will be held. And this will also require active inputs from all the NMOs and the members. This AM, just like all the past ones, will be a platform for the election, debate, capacity building, and networking. We will envision a more active, more resilient, more sustainable, and more empowering IFMSA in the post-pandemic world. On behalf of the Executive Board, I hereby officially invite you to IFMSA 70th General Assembly August Meeting 2021 Panama. Please feel free to contact us or the Organising Committee should you have any inputs or questions toward the security planning, COVID-19 relevant policies, and any other topics. Hope to hear the NMO chantings and see the NMO placards raised in the Plenary Hall again very soon! Best regards, Po-Chin Li

Therefore, I kindly use this occasion to encourage all of you to attend this important event as an once in a lifetime opportunity to expand your capacity, advocate for active youth participation and engagement, improve our Association's quality and future, incite global change, and establish lifelong bonds with colleagues from all around the world. Lastly, I would like to acknowledge the Organizing Committee's effort and dedication towards this event, even more due to the COVID-19 pandemic challenge they had to face in the last two years. These dedicated young members have been working non-stop to bring all of us the best event in the current circumstances and I'm positive it will be a worthwhile experience for all of us as we step out of virtuality and slowly return to our usual lives.

Welcome Letter

From the first President OF IFMSA PANAMA Representing Panamá in IFMSA has been much more than representing the country in another international organization. The organisation of the Panamanian Alliance of Medical Students for the National and International Cooperation (APEMCONI) as an NMO for Panama to join IFMSA, meant the cohesive force to put together the medical students throughout the country, where we found more things in common than differences. This occurred at a time when feelings of rivalry were spreading among students of the different medical schools. IFMSA was the platform that provided us with the best examples of: structure, leadership, institutional strength, and organizational effectiveness, which led a small group of medical students to founding an organization that managed to stand for more than 20 years. We also learned that medical students can develop their own criteria and claim freedom to do what is correct, without depending on political ups and downs, much less on bureaucrats. However, the binding force was not the only phenomenon. When Panama applied to become a full member of IFMSA at the 1999 March Meeting, we never imagined the impact it would have in Panamanian medicine, by introducing topics that until then had been invisible for most medical doctors. Seating future doctors to debate on human rights, sexual and reproductive health, global health, public health, refugees, or the latent danger of a nuclear conflict, would have been unimaginable before our participation in our beloved federation. There were also collateral benefits such as the increase in cultural awareness, and the discussion on social justice. On the other hand, IFMSA opened the door for our medical students to participate in a dynamic and every time more interconnected global community, where we are increasingly aware that each action we take affects our local and global environment. Those lessons even crossed borders, as we had the honor of participating in the dissemination of IFMSA throughout a Latin America that only had 4 NMOs. We also had the chance to give IFMSA most of the regional shape that is valid until now. It is very difficult to quantify the impact that IFMSA has had on the practice of Panamanian medicine, as a leadership academy, by influencing the training of many doctors over 22 years. Either directly, in our training workshops, or indirectly, through the participation in our activities aimed at forming better human beings. For those of us who have participated in APEMCONI, in any of its maturing stages, or in IFMSA as an international level, it cannot be less than an honor to receive an IFMSA General Assembly for the first time in our warm little country. We see a dream becoming true to which we want to invite all medical students in the world, as well as all our friends, colleagues and doctors who, throughout the 70 years of IFMSA, have participated and contributed to leaving their footsteps on global health, to make a better world. Best regards,

Dr. Juan Manuel Muñoz PANAMÁ

Located in Central America with coastlines on both the Caribbean Sea and the North Pacific Ocean. Panamá forms the land bridge connecting North and South America and controls The Panama Canal that links the North Atlantic Ocean via the Caribbean Sea with the North Pacific Ocean, one of the most important shipping routes in the world. Due to its geographical origins, Panama's flora and fauna is incredibly diverse. Boasting over 900 different bird species. Panama's many indigenous tribes are still thriving, living in the same ancient manner as their ancestors, making its cultural fabric exceptionally rich. Panama is also known as the "Crossroads of the Americas" due to its privileged position between North and South America. The indigenous meaning of the country's name, "abundance of fish", reflects Panama's reputation as a paradise for water sports, beach parties and eco-tourism. The capital, Panama City, is a modern, sophisticated metropolis that resembles Miami sometimes referred to as “Central America’s mini-Dubai” and has a diverse array of commerce, arts, fashion and dining from all parts of the world. You decide! One week may not be enough for all of what Panamá has to offer, but we will make sure you get the chance to enjoy two different oceans, experience the mountains and rainforest, learn about native cultures, enjoy the nightlife in the ancient parts of the city indulging yourself with the vibrant fun and spontaneous Panamanian charm! We will make sure you get a #Panamazing experience! For more information visit: https://visitpanama.com

EXPERIENCE

Finances The finance team and others have tried to come up with a budget, realistic enough to carry out the GA, taking into account the situation we are facing today. We had proposed 3 different modalities, among them Alpha, Beta and Gamma; And although Beta was the most requested, since it was proposed as a hybrid event, we ended up considering Gamma, because it was the most recommended, which would be a virtual event, with a minimum in-person attendance, of one (1) per NMO, the international team and the OC of the event. The Pre-GA if you plan to be totally virtual, but with a different dynamic.

For the budget, we made a hypothetical estimate of the number of people who would attend, both the virtual Pre-GA, and the GA gamma:

Expenses: The budget was made based on euros (EUR) to avoid the loss due to the exchange rate from the beginning, only that the contracts and others, if they were made based on the dollar (PAB), that is already the currency of circulation in the country. As the event must be mostly virtual, the option of raising Invitation Packages was proposed, with the aim that even virtual delegates have a different experience of the event.

PANAMÁ

ES LA QUE ES

Administration: The estimated expenses for this section include the elaboration of the website for the GA, which would include the registration system, also the expenses of the banking procedures, as well as the financial audit. Transport: As most of the activities will be within the hotel and its surroundings, transportation will not represent as great an expense as it usually is. Its use is more estimated, it is in the transfer of students to the hotel, on their arrival and to the airport, on the day of departure. Fundraising: In order to meet the expectations of a quality and different GA, a fundraising plan was made from the beginning, expecting support mainly from tourism and trade entities in our country, and some related to health. The OC has also carried out small activities to collect funds, which would serve to cover expenses with immediate need.

Take into account that this is still hypothetical, since in the event that we are not even allowed to bring a representative by NMO, the budget would have to be modified and everything planned for a totally virtual event.

Administration: Passport with at least 6 months validity You must approach or call the Panamanian embassy or consulate in your country to verify all the necessary requirements. Compulsory vaccines: Yellow Fever (if it comes from an endemic country). Generally recommended vaccines: Hepatitis A, Tetanus-diphtheria, Triple Viral.

OC Theme Event “Universal Health Coverage is one of the most powerful social equalizers among all policy options” - Dr. Margaret Chang In 2019 the WHO assured that: Half of the world's population lacks integral access to basic sanitary services. Close to 100 million people are forced into extreme poverty for having to pay for expensive health services out of their own pocket. More than 930 million people (almost 12% of the world's population) spend at least 10% of their family budget to pay for health services. These data shows that there’s still a long way to go and highlighy the importance of creating new strategies to achieve universal coverage by 2030; taking Note that all United Nations Member States have agreed to try to achieve universal health coverage by 2030 at the latest, within the framework of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. We are aware that UHC involves much more than access to health services. In order to achieve UHC we must tackle many other social and economic issues such as poverty, health inequities, access to clean water, and also focus all of our actions in contributing to environmental health. Most -if not all- of our standing committees’ pillars and actions are directed to achieving UHC; which is why we’ve chosen to focus our theme event on the topic:

“IFMSA: 70 years striving for Universal Health Coverage” The main focus of this event is to show each participant the potential of our federation in the creation of strategies and advocacy for the fulfillment of universal health coverage. We will have the participation of high-level speakers delving into topics regarding each standing committees’ role in achieving UCH, such as: "Healthcare for Minority Groups in the 21st Century: What Has Changed?" "Transformation of medical academic programs to achieve equity in health" "Inclusion of Palliative Care in Universal Health Coverage" "Universal access to contraceptive methods: how can we achieve it?" We’ve prepared High-level sessions for our theme event and for the final session we will give you, as participants, the chance to raise your voices and propose innovative solutions to each of the discussed topics on different focus areas regarding Universal Health Coverage. More details will be given during the event. This will be an online event; which gives us the opportunity to host thousands of medical students to discuss such important global health topics and we aim to keep empowering all members on creating new actions, policies and strategies just as we’ve done it through these 70 years.

ENGLISH-ISMS AND BASIC PANAMANIAN PHRASES

Be careful: If you ever visit Panama, you might be seriously tempted to stay there forever.

Saying Hello the Informal, Friendly Way ¿Qué xopá?

H S I N A P S N A I N A M A N A P

Panamanians are fond of changing the order of their words. Xopá is a wordplay on the Spanish word pasó. So, when they ask you this phrase, they’re asking, “¿Que pasó?” in Spanish. This phrase means “What’s up?”, an informal way of greeting someone. It’s great to use, especially if you want to express familiarity. Spice it up and say “¿Qué xopá loco?”, which means “What’s up, bro?” Example: “Qué xopá Mayra, ¿qué haces hoy?” “What’s up Mayra, what are you doing today?”

Using an Expletive Chuleta

The literal meaning of this word in English is “porkchop.” When used as Panamanian street slang, the word becomes an expletive. It’s a word used when you’re exclaiming something like “damn!” The best way to use Chuleta is when you’re surprised. Some Panamanians use this word when they’re disappointed and have nothing better to say. It’s funny since Panamanians don’t know how the expression started. As far as locals can tell, it’s another term that they just say. For example, they also say coño as another means of saying “damn”. Example: “¡Chuleta! Me olvidé mi celular en mi carro” “Damn! I forgot my mobile phone my Car”

H S I N A P S N A I N A M A N A P

ENGLISH-ISMS AND BASIC PANAMANIAN PHRASES

BE CAREFUL: IF YOU EVER VISIT PANAMA, YOU MIGHT BE SERIOUSLY TEMPTED TO STAY THERE FOREVER.

Expressing Bad Luck Estar Saltado

This phrase’s literal meaning is “to be salty”. When encountering a Panamanian native, you might hear them say this phrase. If so, they’re expressing how unlucky they are. Hearing this phrase might be a good cue for you to start a conversation. After all, you might end up cheering someone up if you talk to them about it. You never know, you might turn their luck around with a chat. Example: “Amigo, estoy saltado, no puedo ganar la lotería para nada” “Man, I don’t have luck, I can’t win the lottery for nothing”

A Delicious Dessert Raspao

Examples: “¡Qué calor! Voy a comprar un raspao de este pelao alla” “It’s so hot! I am going to buy an Icee from this guy over there”

1 0 1

When walking around the Panamanian streets, it might get too warm during the mid-day. In that case, you’ll most likely something cold and delectable to relieve the heat. This is the perfect time for you to get a raspao—pronounced like “res-POW”. Its English counterpart is an “Icee”, or a slushie. It’s a sweet dessert topped with condensed milk. Other localities refer to it as Granizado or Piragua.

H S I N A P S N A I N A M A N A P

Expressing Easy Activities Chicha e piña

Chicha is a type of fermented drink made using pineapples or fermented rice. It’s not difficult to make, even without training. With that, this expression describes something that you can do without breaking a sweat. It’s the Panamanian equivalent of the expression “a piece of cake.” Locals that breeze through their work or studies often describe it this way. With that, it’s a handy phrase when you’re trying to show off.

Calling a Friend Fren

It’s important to note that Panama has a deep-seated history with the United States. In 1846, Panama’s isthmus came under the U.S. government’s direct control and protection. This happened even though the country was a province of Colombia during that time. This type of relationship remained unchanged throughout the majority of the 20th century. It’s due to the Panama Canal’s creation. It took more than two decades to make it. The United States needed to protect it, extending their occupation. With this, Panama’s culture has a clear American influence. That’s the reason behind this term. Fren is an undeniable proof of cultural exchange. If you’re a native English speaker, you can use this slang as an endearment to local Panamanians. Examples: “Yo no puedo enojarme con él, es mi fren.” “No, I cannot get mad at him, he is my friend.”

H S I N A P S N A I N A M A N A P

“OK” at Its Purest Form Offi

1 0 1

This term is the easiest one to learn since you’ll use and hear it a lot. It’s the informal method of saying “it’s good”. With that, the word offi is the essence of the word “okay.” When used properly, it becomes an all-purpose word. It only applies when you want to express your affirmation with something.
