WONCA World Family Doctors’ Day Press Conference

Dear ,

As we approach World Family Doctor Day 2024, with the theme “Healthy Planet, Healthy People,” we at WONCA are organizing a virtual press conference for journalists and media, to help amplify our message ahead of May 19th.

There will be two press conferences of 25 minutes, designed to accommodate busy journalists in different time zones around the world.

Date: Friday, 10 May 2024
Sessions: 04:00 UTC and 14:00 UTC
Registration Links:
Session 1 – 04:00 UTC Registration
Session 2 – 14:00 UTC Registration

We are reaching out to kindly request your assistance in disseminating this invitation to your press contacts, media organizations, and journalists in your region.

This event will feature prominent speakers such as 2022 Tyler Prize Winner Prof Sir Andy Haines, WONCA President-elect Viviana Martinez-Bianchi MD, and other key figures in the field of family medicine and environmental health.

It is no easy task to get the media’s attention when talking about the health of the planet and climate change. However, we are making it as easy as possible for busy journalists to cover our campaign by covering all time zones and providing insights, quotes, and stories from an excellent panel of expert communicators in the area of planetary health and family medicine.

Your support in sharing this invitation can greatly enhance our collective outreach and ensure that the message of this significant day is heard globally. At this link, you will find a PDF invitation with Zoom links to the two press conferences. Although this is primarily aimed at the press, representatives of member organisations are also welcome to attend.

Thank you for your continued support and cooperation. We look forward to a successful event with substantial media coverage, facilitated by your valuable network.

Please feel free to contact our Communications Officer, Diarmuid Hayes, if you have any questions or need further information.
