The Latin American Federation of Nutritional Therapy, Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (recognized everywhere for the acronym FELANPE) is a civil, private, non-profit federation of scientific nature that admits as partners the societies, associations and colleges of professionals fostering the disciplines of Artificial (enteral and parenteral) nutrition, Nutritional therapy, Nutritional support, Clinical and hospital nutrition, and Metabolism. FELANPE currently reunites 17 societies, associations and colleges of professionals in the pertaining disciplines in corresponding countries of Ibero-Latin America. According with FELANPE bylaws, only one country in the region can be represented in FELANPE through a national society.
FELANPE was founded with the mission, among others, of reuniting those associations and societies of health professionals related with Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism that are interdisciplinaries in their nature; to foster and promote study, research, management, education, continuous professional formation and development, interdisciplinary certification and accreditation for students as well as professionals, in Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism; and to promote dissemination of good practices in and techniques of, and the advances and applications of, Artificial Nutrition, Nutritional Therapy, and Nutritional support.
FELANPE was founded in Curitiba (State of Paraná, Brasil) in 1988 as the "Latin American Federation of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition" after several preparatory meetings in Buenos Aires (Argentina), 1986; Caracas (Venezuela), 1987; and Quito (Ecuador), 1987; respectively. The change in the title of FELANPE (preserving the acronym) was adopted in 2012 in order to reflect the desire of the Federation to encompass wider professional and academic interests.
Dr. Eduardo Souchon (Venezuela) was the first FELANPE President (1987 - 1989 term). Currently, Dra. Dolores Rodríguez Veintimilla (Ecuador) is acting as running President for the 2019 - 2020 term.
The FELANPE organization[edit]
FELANPE has created 3 bodies for its conduction, and the management of its affairs, id est: the General Assembly, the Fiscal Council, and the General Directory. The General Assembly is the FELANPE deliberative and leading body, and is formed with two representatives for each of the affiliated societies. The Fiscal Council is the FELANPE supervising body, and is constituted by three elected members, along with other three substitutes, all of them serving in the affiliated societies. On the other hand, the General Directory is FELANPE executive body and is comprised with the running President, the Past-President, the President elected for the next term, the vice-Presidents representing the 3 regions forming FELANPE, the Secretary of the Presidency, and the Secretary of FELANPE's permanent delegation.
The Presidency of FELANPE's General Directory is rotative in nature. Always in keeping with FELANPE bylaws, the President of FELANPE's General Directory will be nominated by the affiliated society selected as the country hosting the Latin American Congress of the disciplines within the province of, pertaining to, and of interest of FELANPE, and approved by the General Assembly; and will exercise his/her mandate concurrently with the rest of the General Directory.
As a federation of national societies, and in order to make its management more fluent, dynamic and coherent, FELANPE is organized in 3 regions, each one endowed with its own vicepresidency, id est: North, Center and South. The North Region comprises México, Cuba, República Dominicana, Panamá, Costa Rica, and El Salvador. The Center Region includes Bolivia, Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela, and Perú. Finally, Argentina, Brasil, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay are integrated within the South Region.
According with its bylaws, FELANPE has its permanent delegation and legal bar in Panamá city (Panamá). Bylaws also establish that FELANPE has a transitory delegation in the country hosting the Presidency of the General Directory.

Other FELANPE scientific achievements[edit]
FELANPE has conducted studies in the Latin American region in order to expose the state of malnutrition among the patients assisted at the public hospitals of the region under the titles "Estudio Latinoamericano de Nutrición" (ELAN) (for Latin American Study of Nutrition) between 1999 - 2001,[2] and "Estudio de Nutrición en los Hospitales de Latinoamérica" (ENHOLA) (for Nutrition Study in Latin American Hospitals) in 2012.[3] These studies have been consistent in finding that half of the surveyed patients shows evident signs of malnutrition.
FELANPE also completed a multicenter, multinational research on the practices of Artificial nutrition and nutritional therapy in the intensive and critical care units of the hospitals of the region.[4] This research confirmed that malnutrition is highly prevalent in the critical care units, as it can affect up to 3/4 of those admitted to them. It was also observed that coverage of the daily nutritional requirements was lower than the goals set in 40% of the patients, as well as a reduced use of parenteral nutrition. However, provision of energy and proteins was higher in those patients in whom parenteral nutrition was used with supplementary purposes.
Educational programs sustained by FELANPE[edit]
FELANPE has promoted continuous education in Nutritional therapy, Clinical and hospital Nutrition and Metabolism.[5],[6] To that end, FELANPE sustains the Pediatric Nutrition (CNP), the Interdisciplinary Clinical Nutrition (CINC), the Nursing in Nutritional Therapy (CETEN), and Chemistry and Pharmacy courses.
FELANPE publications[edit]
FELANPE ha auspiced the publication of the "Manual de Nutrición Enteral y Parenteral" (for Enteral and Parenteral Nutrition Manual) as a collective work of the iberolatinamerican specialists in the disciplines pertaining the Federation. The Manual has become an essential text for nutritionists in the area, and it has 2 editions so far.[7],[8]
FELANPE has also published corresponding standards in order to harmonize the performances of nutritionista and nurses within the organizations dedicated to the provision of nutritional care to the patient durante admission in the hospitals of the iberolatinamerican region.[9],[10]
The Montevideo Declaration[edit]
The Montevideo Declaration on the "Compromiso de las asociaciones y de las revistas científicas que conforman la Federación Latino Americana de Nutrición Parenteral y Enteral (FELANPE) y la Sociedad Latino Americana de Nutrición (SLAN)" (in English: "Commitment of the associations and the scientific journals comprising the Latin American Federation of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (FELANPE) and the Latin American Society of Nutrition (SLAN)") was signed and put into effect in November 8th, 2005, during the First Meeting of the representatives of national societies and editors of scientific journals from FELANPE and SLAN that was held in Montevideo, Uruguay, as part of the sessions of the X Latin American Congress of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition.[11] The "Montevideo Declaration" was promoted and impulsed by Dr. Jesús Culebras, in his desire to contribute to the defense of the Spanish language as scientific vehicle, and also to make visible the scientific production of the iberolatinamerican countries Clinical and Hospital Nutrition, Nutritional therapy, Nutritional support, Artificial Nutrition and Metabolism.[12]
The signers of the Montevideo Declaration, the representatives of the Spain, Argentina, Brasil, Chile, Colombia, México, Paraguay, and Uruguay societies included within the FELANPE space; and the editors of the journals sustained by these associations, agreed on establishing better mechanisms of cooperation between the iberolatinamerican Nutrition scientific journals, fostering exchanges between members of the editorial boards, the electronic promotion of all journals, the creaation of an Iberoamerican Editorial Council, and the inculturation of the El Salvador Declaration dated on September 23th, 2005 on the "Compromiso con la Equidad y Acceso Abierto" (for "Commitment on Equity and Open Access"); among other agreements.
The Cancún Declaration[edit]
The ELAN Study revealed in 2003 that half of the hospitalized patients was malnourished. More important: malnutrition was nos recorded as an independent diagnosis in the patient's list of health problems, only a few of them received any kind of nutritional therapy,[13] and (with the exemption of two of them) countries in this region did not have government policies regulating the practice of nutritional therapy. ELAN researchers also documented in subsequent studies the clinical consequences manultrition brings about on the patient's evolution, and the therapeutic response, among them, the increased risk of complications, poor response to drug therapy, and diminishment of immunocompetence.[14] In addition, economical consequences of malnutrition comprise increases in the cost of hospital stay and the use of additional treatments, thus creating a very serious impact upon health systems.[15]
Awares of the situation of nutritional therapy in the iberolatinamerican region, and committed to intervene the found state of affairs, the Presidencies of the societies, associations and colleges represented in the FELANPE space called upon experts and professionals for drafting an action program in order to ensure the right of every patient to nutrition in the hospitals.[16] Drafting of what would later became known as the "Cancún Declaration for the right to nutrition in the hospitals" extended for 7 months, and reunited more than 75 members of the FELANPE societies. The final document, comprising 6 lines of action in 23 pages, was approved and signed by the Presidents of the Latin American and the Caribbean societies and associations of Clinical Nutrition and Nutritional Therapy covnened during the XI FELANPE Congress/XV AMAEE Congress, at the city of Cancún (State of Quintana Roo, México), on May 20th, 2008, along with solidary actors and witnesses.[17]
The Cartagena Declaration[edit]
Having elapsed 10 years from the promulgation of the Cancún Declaration, its critical revision was called for.[18],[19] Along with extraordinary achievements there were big voids and enormous insatisfactions. In the elapsed time, still half of the hospitalized patients is malnourished, the usage rates of nutritional therapies are insufficient, myths and sophismas regarding how necessary is nutritional support as a comprehensive part of health care in patients such as chronic kidney disease patients and those affected with cancer prevail; and the contribution of latinamerican nutritionists with new knowledge to the global body of scientific work is limited (lest not to say minuscule). To this end, several experts were convened in order to reexamine and rewrite the postulates of the Cancún Declaration in light of thwe new realities of nutritional support in Latin America. The result is the Cartagena Declaration on the “Right to nutritional care and the fight against malnutrition”, that was signed on May 3rd, 2019 during the sessions of the 33 Colombian Congress of Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism, held in the Colombian city of Cartagena de Indias.[20]
