These agreements provide for cooperation with medical services of our Member States in order to detect and respond to major epidemics posing a global threat to public health. WHO, OIE and UNAIDS contact each government individually. We are also discussing draft agreements with other international organizations.

Shortly, the 41st World Congress on Military Medicine will be hosted by Indonesia in Bali, in May 2015. Iranian military forces are going to have active participation in this congress by presenting papers, workshops, and roundtables. Nevertheless, it is not enough. We must reorganize our activities in order to be an active and effective member of ICMM and play our role in the regional committees. In addition, we expect to have at least one candidate for the next ICMM Prize (Jules Voncken Prize). Therefore, I sincerely invite my colleagues for further action to reach these goals."}],"list_type":"order"}
