IMIA organises the internationally acclaimed triennial “World Congress on Medical and Health Informatics” - commonly know as MedInfo. The event provides both a high quality scientific exchange of current research and thinking in health and biomedical informatics and an opportunity for formal meetings and informal networking of IMIA's members. The event is jointly hosted by IMIA and one of its National Member societies. The selection of the society is determined through a vote of the IMIA General Assembly.
MEDINFO2010
The next MedInfo will be held in Cape Town, South Africa on 12-15 September, 2010, with the South African Health Informatics Association (SAHIA) providing the local organisation of the event and the MedInfo2010 Scientific Programme Committee being responsible for the scientific content.
This 13th World Congress on Medical Informatics will be the first African MedInfo. The theme is Partnerships for effective e-Health solutions, with a particular focus on how innovative collaborations can promote sustainable solutions to health challenges.
Full details are available on the MedInfo2010 website.
