Joint Meeting of the German Society of Tropical Surgery and the Association Women´s Health in International Development

SHARING EXPERIENCE

Jena — Germany • November 12–14, 2009

We invite you to join our Annual Meeting that has become a good tradition. After 10 years we will be meeting in Jena again.

For the second time, it will be organized as a Joint Meeting of the German Society of Tropical Surgery and the Association Women´s Health in International Development. The reason for this is that – in contrast to Western health systems – clinicians in developing countries are required to work as generalists. The highly specialized surgeon/gynecologist remains a dream for hospitals in rural areas, but may also be seen as a danger for patients with a wide range of tropical diseases. Speakers will be asked to present and reflect key clinical problems in worldwide medicine in accordance with current scientific development, considering the political and cultural context.
We are looking forward to welcoming various participants and speakers from developing countries who will be able to take us close to their most important clinical problems and their various solutions.
We look forward to welcoming you in Jena.
