A shared dream, a common path

Abstract

A new year has begun, and just before the previous one came to an end, many of us looked back to reflect on how close we came to achieving our goals in 2025. As an Association, we also undertook this exercise. At the beginning of this cycle, the Board took time to reflect on what an ideal Colombian Association of Hepatology (ACH) meant to each of us. We envisioned a stronger ACH, with international projection, and with members actively engaged in research, allowing us to gain visibility in settings where historically we have not been heard. We envisioned an inclusive association, whose voice would also be considered by official bodies where critical health-related decisions are made. Likewise, we dreamed of a vibrant ACH, one in which new generations would find a space where they feel valued, and in which all of us could feel proud to belong.
