ECTMIH2021

The 12th  European Congress on Tropical Medicine and International Health (ECTMIH) is being held in Bergen, Norway in 2021.

The congress has evolved over the years from mainly focusing on tropical diseases to also include challenges in global health. The first congress to incorporate global health in its program was the 5th in Amsterdam in 2007. Since then ECTMIH has turned into a leading forum for global challenges and tropical medicine.

In 2021 ECTMIH will focus on global challenges in health, migration and equity. 

ECTMIH 2021 will be a four day virtual congress.
