Latin American Association for the Study of the Liver / Asociacion Latinoamericana para el Estudio del Higado (ALEH)

The Latin American Association for the Study of the Liver (ALEH) was founded in São Paulo in 1968, under the leadership of Professor Silvano Raia, who initially thought of a society in South America. This is how ALEH was born. Its first meeting was held in the city of São Paulo in 1968, with the participation of Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Venezuela. Although these countries continue to have great relevance in the organization of society, there was a significant expansion of the member countries, now involving various nations of South and Central America.

Vision:
Achieve a position of solid leadership in the specialty at a local, Latin American and international level, through its different academic and informative activities.
