World Family Doctor Day- May 19- Messages from Executive
May, 2020
In celebration of this year’s FDD – which acknowledges and applauds the work of family doctors globally, we rather presciently chose the theme of “Family doctors on the front line: first in, last out”. You can access a video message from our President, Dr Donald Li, and the entire WONCA Executive.
From the President: May 2020

As one conference or meeting after another is cancelled or postponed in each of our regions and for many of our Member Organisations, we are looking for – and finding - new and innovative ways of keeping in touch, keeping informed, providing each other with care and support.

For all of us, the last few weeks have been quite surreal. COVID-19 has had a major impact on countries around the globe, with very significant effects on the health systems and the economies. Health systems have been placed under immense strain and family doctors have had to quickly learn new ways of working, with virtual consultations and telemedicine becoming the norm in a very short space of time.
Du président: Mai 2020

Alors que conférences et réunions se succèdent et sont annulées ou reportées dans chacune de nos régions et pour beaucoup de nos organisations membres, nous cherchons - et trouvons - des moyens nouveaux et innovants pour rester en contact, nous informer, nous soigner et nous soutenir mutuellement.
Del presidente : mayo 2020

Mientras asistimos a cancelaciones o aplazamientos de eventos – uno tras otro – en cada una de las regiones mundiales por parte de nuestra organizaciones miembro, estamos buscando y encontrando nuevas e innovadoras formas de mantenernos conectados para cuidarnos a y apoyarnos.
