WONCA Europe Newsletter
May 2022

Dear colleagues,

19th of May is the World Family Doctor day! You are always there to care: In rather usual times, during the COVID 19 pandemic, and even under the conditions of war you are ready to provide high quality healthcare to your patients. The trust to receive healthcare when needed and independent of what the circumstances are is a great certainty to your patients and makes a real difference for them. This is why we would like to congratulate you for all your achievements and thank you for your engagement in providing care, teaching and research!

With the very best wishes on behalf of the Executive Board!

The WONCA Europe president’s corner

Dear colleagues,

We all should be proud every day for being family doctors, and to serve and treat our patients and their families. The COVID-19 was a real challenge to all healthcare providers, but especially for us, family doctors in the frontline of the pandemic. On our World Family Doctors Day we should be optimistic for the future of ourselves, our profession and our patients.

Yours,

Professor Shlomo Vinker
WONCA Europe President
