We are very proud to share with you this first product of the collaboration between the Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (HSCT) programs in Latin America. Dr. Cristian Sotomayor, from Chile, had the initiative of conducting a survey to make the information on HSCT training programs within Latin American available. It is an important option for all our colleagues. It may decrease the cost of travelling and lodging, and increase access, since they are offered in Spanish and Portuguese. We would also like to celebrate it as the first publication of the Education and Dissemination Committee of the Latin American Bone Marrow Transplantation (LABMT) Group. The LABMT was created in 2011, according to a Worldwide Network for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (WBMT) request, to be a voice of the Latin American Hematology and Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation Societies to WBMT and, ultimately, to the World Health Organization. The main goals of the LABMT group are to know our HSCT activity and outcomes, to define minimal requirements for safe patient care and graft processing, to introduce quality as a toll to guide the development and improvement of the HSCT programs, to promote learning opportunities for all professionals involved in the care of HSCT patients, to promote relationships and twinning between the HSCT centers and, above all, to protect the patients and donors.
