“This will be the century of networks, connectivity, and interdependency, which will allow us to overcome barriers of space and time and will open possibilities that were unimaginable to humankind. If we encourage those networks to exponentially multiply … we will have taken a fundamental step towards eliciting knowledge and experience … for sustainable human development.”
Dr. Mirta Roses Periago, Inaugural Speech, Director of the Pan American Health Organization, WHO Regional Director for the Americas, 31 January 2003
