Since its foundation in 1958, it has grown from an association of only four countries (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Venezuela) to 19 countries in 2018 and has become the official voice of the hepatologist in Latin America. It includes Spanish and Portugues-speaking countries of the region of Latin American and the Caribbean (from Mexico to Chile), accounting to more than 650 million people and approximately 14% of the world’s territory.
