We are working together with the Argentine Society of Hepatology (SAHE) to build a “National Observatory of Liver Diseases”.

The purpose of the observatory is to have a reliable source of health information on liver diseases in the Argentine population in order to contribute to improve their health conditions.

The main objectives are:

• To contribute to the knowledge and visibility of liver diseases.
• Generate quality scientific evidence to support decision making to improve the health of the population.

Our intervention focuses on institutional strengthening, digital innovation, design and adaptation of results-based management tools. We have built a precise work methodology that is easy to monitor its implementation.

The Observatory will provide key inputs to strengthen public health, as it aims to improve the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of liver diseases in the Argentine population, benefiting both health teams and those who access the system.

In this way, the project seeks to innovate in health, promote integration and enhance the capabilities of all the actors involved.

RESULTS

The creation of the National Observatory on Liver Diseases (ONEH) represents an unprecedented public health challenge that requires a collaborative approach involving various fields of public health expertise. Within this framework and to bring this project to fruition, the Argentine Society of Hepatology (SAHE) decided to partner with the DYNAMIS XXI Foundation as a strategic partner for the observatory’s development. Since the signing of the framework agreement in September 2024, the DYNAMIS XXI Foundation has been implementing an intensive work plan that now confirms that the National Observatory on Liver Diseases (ONEH) is fully operational and is set to publish its first comprehensive report on liver cirrhosis in Argentina.

This progress has been made possible by the Dynamis Foundation team’s structured implementation of actions. From the initial feasibility analysis and regulatory framework—including the drafting of ONEH’s operating regulations—to the design of a networked organizational model that ensures efficiency at all operational levels. On the technical front, we have implemented state-of-the-art clinical information standards and launched the digital data collection tool (EpiCollect5), accompanying this technological leap with comprehensive training for the SAHE teams.

Finally, our administration has succeeded in establishing a networked ecosystem by integrating the databases of partner organizations and participating health centers throughout the country. These achievements have not only enabled ONEH to become fully operational but also provide the technical and human resources necessary for the first report on liver cirrhosis to serve as a reference tool for evidence-based decision-making in public health.
