5th European Conference on Tropical Medicine and International Health - Partnership and Innovation in Global Health: Federation of the Societies of Tropical Medicine and International Health
Location: Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Dates: 24-28 May 2007
This congress is the 5th congress which is organized under the auspices of the Federation of the Societies of Tropical Medicine and International Health. It will be organized in the Netherlands to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Dutch Society for Tropical Medicine and International Health (NVTG).
In the Netherlands, especially in Amsterdam, there is a longstanding tradition in tropical medicine and international health.
The theme chosen is Partnership and Innovation in Global Health, expressing the need for collaboration to develop the quality of global health and achieve some of the Millennium Development Goals. Global collaboration means collaboration between North and South, South and South, North and North, and East and West. Furthermore, innovation is important to be able to attempt to control the major problems of international health.
The upcoming congress in Amsterdam is welcoming every health professional to create a platform where all issues concerning global health may be addressed, such as issues of public health, clinical tropical medicine, health economics, poverty, basic science, diagnostics and therapeutics.
