Jalons de l’innovation médicale : L’IRCAD América Latina s’agrandit

La cérémonie de pose de la première pierre a officiellement marqué le lancement de l’extension de l’IRCAD América Latina et du futur Centre de recherche clinique et de chirurgie robotique à Barretos. Le 15 mai, le professeur Jacques Marescaux a rejoint le président Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva pour une visite officielle de l’Institut de Barretos, soulignant comment la chirurgie robotique, la recherche clinique et la formation médicale élargissent l’accès aux soins mini-invasifs de pointe dans tout le Brésil. 

Menée par M. Henrique Prata, la délégation comprenait le vice-président, la ministre de la Santé, le ministre des Télécommunications, le ministre de l’Économie et de l’Innovation, ainsi que l’équipe dirigeante de l’Hospital de Amor. À l’issue de cette visite, un déjeuner privé organisé au ranch de M. Prata a permis de poursuivre les discussions sur l’innovation, la technologie, l’éducation et les soins de santé centrés sur l’humain. La présence de cinq heures de la délégation témoigne de l’importance croissante de ce projet de chirurgie robotique en tant que priorité nationale, ainsi que de l’impact de l’IRCAD América Latina pour Barretos et l’ensemble du pays. Pour clore la cérémonie, un prêtre a béni les plans architecturaux et la maquette du futur centre, un moment fort de sens dans un pays profondément religieux comme le Brésil.

COVID19: IRCAD sanitary measures & health pass

Please note that the IRCAD administrative board and staff are closely monitoring the evolving COVID-19 situation, in full compliance with all applicable laws and regulations in France. The health, safety, and well-being of our participants, experts and staff are our top priority!
Despite the current context, the IRCAD stands firmly by your side to help you acquire knowledge and skills. Come and join us !

We would like to draw your attention that the « Vaccine Pass » is now mandatory in France since end of January 2022 and replaces the former « Health Pass » to access places that are open to the public, such as cinemas, museums, cafés and restaurants, hotels as well as the IRCAD Institute which welcomes participants in the framework of its courses and seminars. Thus, a PCR test without vaccination is no longer sufficient to take part in our courses.

The vaccine pass includes a proof of the following (one of the 3 items is sufficient):

  • The vaccination certificate, proving that persons have a complete vaccination (as of January 15, 2022, all persons aged 18 and over must receive a booster dose no more than 7 months after their last injection or Covid infection to receive a valid vaccination pass. As of February 15, 2022, the time limits for keeping the pass will be reduced, you will have to do your booster dose 4 months and no longer 7 months after your 2nd dose to have a complete vaccine schedule and maintain a valid vaccine pass)
  • The result of a positive RT-PCR or antigenic test attesting to the recovery of Covid, more than 11 days and less than 4 months
  • The certificate of contraindication to vaccination

Further information about the new vaccine pass can be found at :

We very much hope to be able to count on your kind understanding of those rules which have been set by the French Government and which our Institute is required to apply
