From the CEO's desk - World Family Doctors' day
February, 2013
Family medicine is well established in many countries but others struggle to get acceptance and recognition of our specialism, and one of WONCA’s key roles is to highlight and promote the discipline wherever and whenever we can. One of our initiatives was to establish a “World Family Doctors' Day”.

Bangkok in January – bright blue skies, daytime temperatures in the low to mid 30s, evening temperatures a very pleasant low 20s….. but it’s a great time to be in Thailand and I’m sure it’s mere coincidence, that our President, Rich Roberts, and President-elect, Michael Kidd, will arrive here in early February for the next Core Executive meeting!

The new Secretariat is slowly assuming its roles and responsibilities. The transition really is “work in progress” and we’re trying to make this one as seamless as we can.
The Nominations and Awards Committee, under the Chairmanship of Professor Michael Kidd, is still seeking nominations for all WONCA posts which will come up for election or re-election at the World Council in Prague next June.
From the CEO's desk : farewell
