Final Analisis
Congresses are meetings of scientific, economic and cultural natures undertaken with the intention to disseminate the advances and discoveries in different areas. Disclosure is one of the constituent elements in this activity, bringing together specialists from different geographies and cultures to share new developments and knowledge that will later be extended to the entire community. In this process, the role of the media is substantial. The task of disclosure, especially in congresses of medical nature, enriches society´s sanitarian education, by bringing people information that will influence the improvement of their care, habits and quality of life.
