5). Health Education Committee
This was a part of the international working group but it was found that this activity is a major challenge to all the people working in Family & Community Medicine. A list of the Common Health Problems were identified & distributed to interested members for editing translation and language communication then for revision by the committee. Around 100 topics are ready now
* Attached copy of one of the topics
6). Internal Working Group
During the last year series of efforts were made to update or re-innovate the society website the major constrain in the lack of sponsor and the high price…. We tried to convince the society administrative board to invest on this but no support.
Lastly we manage to find a reasonable offer to build a new website during the coming year it well be a challenging goal for us.
