Creation of a small working group to draft a final MonWHO 2009 position statement on environmental health
- As was mentioned at the MonWHO 2009 closing ceremonies, we would like to form a small working group composed of 2-5 delegates that would draft one final resolution. It should integrate all the resolutions that were passed at MonWHO 2009. The goal is to send the final document to the health minister and our contacts at the WHO. In addition, we could also use this position paper for advocacy within our student organizations.
If you are interested, please contact Stéphanie Forté before April 10th! stephanie.forte@umontreal.ca
