Optio participated in Honduras’ National Congress of Gynecology, one of the country’s most important academic and professional forums focused on women’s health. The event provided an opportunity to engage with healthcare professionals from across the country and reinforce the importance of ethical, rights-based, and patient-centered care.

Bringing together specialist physicians, general practitioners, and other healthcare professionals, the congress served as a key platform for sharing knowledge and promoting best practices in healthcare delivery. It also provided a valuable space to discuss emerging challenges and opportunities related to women’s health in an increasingly digital world.

As part of its participation, Optio shared practical tools and resources designed to help healthcare providers prevent revictimization and strengthen professional confidentiality within health services. These efforts focused on ensuring that patients—particularly survivors of violence—receive care in environments that prioritize dignity, privacy, safety, and respect.

Throughout the congress, healthcare professionals were encouraged to reflect on the critical role they play in protecting patient rights and fostering more humane and supportive healthcare experiences. Discussions highlighted the importance of implementing protocols and practices that safeguard confidentiality while promoting trust between patients and providers.

To support these efforts, Optio distributed informational materials and gathered feedback from participants regarding the usefulness and applicability of the tools presented. This feedback will help inform future awareness-raising initiatives and strengthen efforts to support healthcare institutions in delivering more rights-based and survivor-centered care.

By engaging with healthcare professionals through national forums such as the National Congress of Gynecology, Optio continues to promote healthcare systems that protect patient rights, strengthen ethical practice, and ensure that women and girls receive the respectful, confidential, and high-quality care they deserve.
