For the first time in the history of the World Organization of Family Doctors (Wonca), a Latin American country will be the venue for a World Conference of Family Doctors: In October 2004, the Mexican College of Family Medicine was designated by the Wonca World Council as organizer of the 19th Wonca World Conference of Family Doctors, to be held in the city of Cancun, Mexico, from 19th to 23rd May 2010.

This Conference will spread the latest scientific and technological breakthroughs in our discipline. It will draw the attention of the Family Doctors from different parts for the world and will lead to the reflection on the technical and social role that Family Medicine must have to achieve the international goals that were proposed in the 2000 Millennium Summit: the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

The Host Organizing Committee of Wonca Cancun 2010 invites you to join more than 5,000 international colleagues in Cancun, Mexico, in May 2010. Come and enjoy our culture and hospitality.
