Call for Participants for the 2013 FAMSA SCOPA International Conference on Population, Health and Development (ICPHD) & Family Planning Summit
mario...@yahoo.com
The Federation of African Medical Students' Association (FAMSA) - Standing Committee on Population Activities (SCOPA) is glad to invite you to the 2013 edition of the FAMSA ICPHD & Family Planning Summit.
The theme for the event is - FAMILY PLANNING; THE ROADMAP TO THE MDGs IN AFRICA
For the 2nd year in a row, FAMSA SCOPA provides this spectacular avenue for medical students, doctors, health advocates, NGOs, policy makers etc to converge for four days and deliberate on challenges of rapid population growth in Africa warranted by poor family planning culture, the abysmal maternal and child health indices, and the overall sluggish progress in the attainment of the MDGs in Africa. This is not to forget the overdose of round-the-clock fun that comes with the event.
