WONCA EMR Family Medicine Conference 2024 – By : Dr. Oraib Al Smadi

The Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR) faces a multifaceted array of healthcare challenges, including escalating non-communicable diseases, burgeoning mental health concerns, and the needs of an aging population. In this context, Family Medicine, with its emphasis on comprehensive, continuous, and community-oriented care, emerges as a key solution.

Despite its critical importance, the integration of Family Medicine into national health systems across the EMR has encountered significant obstacles. The shortage of adequately trained family physicians and insufficient recognition and support for the specialty have constrained its potential, particularly in rural and underserved areas.

However, recent initiatives reflect a promising shift. Several countries in the region are actively incorporating Family Medicine into their medical education curricula and expanding training programs for family physicians.

These advancements are crucial for cultivating a robust primary care workforce capable of meeting the diverse health needs of the region. The WONCA Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR) Family Medicine Conference 2024, scheduled for October 3-5, 2024, in Amman, Jordan, represents a landmark opportunity for family physicians, healthcare policymakers, and regional stakeholders.
