The Latin Americas and Caribbean are regions where social exclusion and inequality persist as the main obstacles to human development and improvement of health conditions, despite economic growth and social development. These countries need to establish international collaborations with the goal of improving health conditions. In this scenario Acute Promyelocytic Leukaemia (APL), a disease with a high cure rate in developed countries and high prevalence in young patients, offers an ideal opportunity to implement measures with educational and cooperative scope. We discuss the experience of Latin America and the Caribbean through a common network, the International Consortium on Acute Promyelocytic Leukaemia (IC-APL).
尽管有经济增长和社会发展，但社会排斥和不平等依然是人类发展和健康状况改善的主要障碍。这些国家需要建立旨在改善健康状况的国际合作关系。在这种情况下，急性早幼粒细胞白血病（APL），一种在发达国家治愈率高且在年轻患者中患病率高的疾病，为实施具有教育和合作范畴的措施提供了理想机会。我们通过一个共同的网络——国际急性早幼粒细胞白血病联盟（IC - APL）来探讨拉丁美洲和加勒比地区的经验。
