The director of the Espriu Foundation, Carlos Zarco, was re-elected president of the International Health Cooperative Organization (IHCO) during its assembly held on 27 October. Dr Zarco, who will assume the position for a period of four years, was elected president of the international organization for the first time in November 2017.

He will be accompanied on the IHCO’s governing council by Hotaka Hara from Japan and Ricardo López from Argentina as vice-presidents and Gilberto Quinche from Columbia and Marcos Cunha from Brazil as members.

After the election, Dr Zarco expressed his gratitude to the delegates participating in the assembly for the trust they had once more placed in him and his satisfaction at being able to continue the work of international promotion and development of health cooperatives.

The assembly, which brought together delegates from Canada, Italy, India, the Philippines, Brazil, Argentina, Japan, Colombia, Spain, Cameroon and Kenya, agreed on the work plan for 2022, which focuses on exploiting the potential of the cooperative business model in the health sector as an element of health system development.
