1st Global Congress of Maternal and Infant Health 2010

This event will be a milestone in the history of Perinatal Medicine for several reasons: The most important opinion leaders of Maternal and Infant Health around the world are in the faculty of the congress. Scientific experts from over 80 countries of the five continents will be in Barcelona to share knowledge and experience on relevant topics and novel aspects of this field. For a few days, Barcelona will be the capital of the World Perinatal Medicine. A great effort has been made to present a programme with a balanced content, including research, clinical practice, daily problems and future prospecting.
The key words of this Congress are: globality, dialogue and solidarity. Globality because the programme of the meeting includes participants from developed and developing countries as well as not only professionals in Maternal and Infant Health, but also sociologists, social workers, politicians and others. All international societies of Perinatal Medicine, non-governmental organizations and international agencies involved in the field will actively take part in the Congress activities. Dialogue refers to the proposal of specific sessions aimed to increase intercultural knowledge, promoting the interchange of information, beliefs and ideas in the North-South and in the East-West directions. Solidarity implies the strong wish of the organization to generate an adequate climate to promote an intense cooperation between high and low - income nations.
