The WONCA Africa Region of WONCA has, for the first time adopted By-laws modelled on the WONCA World By-laws, for their business and activities. This was tested in Cancun during the election of Africa Region executives, when both the spirit and letter of the new by-laws were strictly adhered to, creating an initial litmus test which resulted in success for the new document.
