Dear colleagues,
It is now a year since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, please do not forget our friends there and continue to support them and their people in any way that you find suitable.
In WONCA Europe, the scientific committee is finalizing its work, and soon we will have our full program for Brussels. I hope to meet all of you at our annual conference.
