Asia Pacific region conference in New Zealand in 2020

Welcome message
On behalf of the organising committee, it gives me great pleasure to invite you to join us, and your colleagues from around the world, to the WONCA Asia Pacific Regional Conference 2020, in Aotearoa New Zealand.

The conference, which runs from 23-26 April, will be held at the Aotea Centre, in the heart of Auckland, the City of Sails.

The theme of the conference will be: Family Medicine leading the way towards an advanced world of equity, quality and compassion

The essence of this theme is captured in the Māori whakataukī (proverb):
Ko te pae tawhiti whāia kia tata,
ko te pae tata whakamaua kia tina
which translates to "Seek distant horizons in pursuit of excellence".

During the conference we will explore the scientific and human contributions we can make to create a future that embraces progress, while still retaining the core values needed to move us towards the goal of equal health for all.

We invite you to experience New Zealand's natural wonders and unique culture that you won't find anywhere else in the world. Our immense and diverse landscapes, mix of spectacular scenery and modern cities makes it the perfect destination for WONCA 2020.
