The province of Jujuy is hosting events to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Mission for the Study of Argentine Regional Pathology (MEPRA) laboratories. Initial preparations focused on an upcoming conference titled ‘Tropical Diseases: Challenges for Health in Northern Argentina’. The event, organized by the Medicine Agency, aims to address how climate change and the tropicalization of the climate affect the prevention, recognition, and management of tropical diseases. It also seeks to link university research at the National University of Jujuy (UNJu) with local health needs. As the commemorations proceed, the program includes keynote lectures by Dr. Hugo Luis Pizzi on climate change impacts and presentations by UNJu Rector Mario Bonillo regarding the scientific legacy of Dr. Salvador Mazza, who worked to decentralize research on regional diseases like Chagas disease in northern Argentina. Recent activities continue to honor the scientific legacy of Dr. Mazza through collaborative efforts between the provincial government and the National University of Jujuy.
