Dear Colleagues,
Dear Colleagues,
sssThe
WONCA Asia Pacific Regional Conference will be held
for the first time in Bangkok,
Thailand during 5-9 November, 2006. The conference will
be hosted by the General
Practitioners/ Family Physicians Association, Thailand
and the Royal College of Family
Physicians of Thailand, under the auspices of the World
Organization of Family Doctors
(WONCA, the World Organization of National Colleges,
Academies and Academic
Associations of General Practitioners/Family Physicians).
sssThe
theme of this meeting is Happy and Healthy Family. We,
the family doctors which
include physicians, dentists, nurses, pharmacists, public
health personnels and all
health-care workers have to work closely together for
taking proper care of the illness,
prevent and control diseases, and promote health for
all. These are challenging tasks
for us to achieve our goal in the era with rapid growing
of new technology,
industrialization, and people mobilization.
sssThe
meeting will provide us the opportunities to bring together
family doctor teams in
urban and rural area, sharing their experiences and
learning from experts as well as
fostering partnerships in the region.
sssThailand
has been the site of numerous international meetings,
and Bangkok is the
gateway of the region. The country’s rich heritages,
beautiful scenic seaside and
mountain view as well as the unique Thai hospitality
will make your visit truly memorable.
sssWe
look forward to welcoming you to Bangkok in 2006.
