On behalf of the Host Organizing Committee of the 19th Wonca World Conference of Family Doctors (Wonca 2010 Cancun), I have great pleasure in inviting you to join us and more than 6,000 of our international colleagues in Cancun, Mexico, May 2010. Give us the opportunity to share with you our incredible culture as well as our hospitality.

Through this Wonca 2010 Cancun we plan to continue the Wonca tradition of cutting edge technology, global calls to action and practical applications of the latest medical advancements, and also to incorporate issues related with the technical and social role of Family Doctors in the achievement of the main international goals proposed during the 2000 Millennium Summit, the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

The conference, first ever organized in a Latin American country, promises to be a very stimulating international event with delegates coming from all Wonca regions. The Wonca 2010 Cancun World Conference will provide the opportunity to bring together experts in family medicine and primary care from all over the world to exchange ideas, information and the most up to date findings allowing us to enhance family health across diverse cultures.

The Scientific Program for the Wonca 2010 Cancun will be structured around the MDGs more strongly linked to Family Medicine, and will respond also to Wonca Goals and scientific needs from the seven Wonca geographical regions.

The Plenary Sessions will be presented by leaders of the United Nations System as well as representatives of other international organizations. The Program will also include a variety of activities oriented to increase and strengthen the knowledge and skills of all the potential participants: free standing papers, workshops, symposiums, poster presentations, and academic activities with Wonca Working Parties, Task Forces and Special Interest Groups.

And for the Delegates and their families the possibilities for entertainment, adventure and contact with history and nature are endless. Cancun truly has it all.

We look forward to seeing you in Wonca Cancun 2010!.
