Associate Society Member Highlight: Peru
Peruvian Association of Sleep Medicine was founded in 2007 in Lima, Peru. Today, the society has 70 enrolled members. Dr. Darwin Vizcarra-Escobar says of the society, "The main activities are education and to promote social awareness about sleep disorders and their impact on the well-being of society. Our society is a multidisciplinary organization devoted to this field." It has also been an international representative in the Latin American Federation of Sleep Societies (FLASS).
Dr. Vizcarra-Escobar opined, "We chose to become a member of World Sleep Society because we have always been committed to engage with regional organizations of sleep medicine through FLASS, and the next step was to engage internationally. For that reason, we have also promoted sleep medicine in our country by partaking in World Sleep Day and are constantly involved in lines of investigation in this area."
This was the third installment of our highlighted societies series. To be considered for this feature, join as an Associate Society Member.
