Welcome from Dr. Mary E. Deeb,
LEA President
Dear Colleagues and Friends,
It is my pleasure to invite you to Beirut on November 25-27, 2010, to participate in the 8th IEA/EMR Scientific Meeting on “Globalization and Public Health in the Eastern Mediterranean Region”.
The last time LEA hosted the IEA/EMR Regional scientific meeting in Beirut was in 1997. It had been a great success, drawing about 200 participants from several Arab countries. We look forward to repeating and improving this success in the upcoming meeting in November 25-27, 2010. There is a need for clearly defined research that can contribute to policy agendas, to help respond to national and regional challenges in Public Health. The proposed regional meeting would permit sharing of knowledge, best practices and health concerns, particularly in relation to current global topics that have received up till now insufficient attention in the EMR. We believe that this event’s success can also enhance the position of the EMR countries as
leaders in science and health.
I hope that you will join us and contribute to the success of a scientific meeting that is expected to be professionally stimulating. The program includes contributions from Worldwide leading health professionals, Epidemiologists and clinicians, who will provide a cutting-edge discussion on the issue of globalization and public health.
I look forward to welcoming you all in Beirut …. Inshallah !!!!
