The World Health Organization declared on June 11th, that the world was facing the first pandemic of the 21st Century. Mexico was the first country to detect, last April, the existence of a new virus namely human influenza A (H1N1). The Mexican Government, with participation of all sectors of our society, acted firmly and with responsibility, by putting health protection ahead of the consequences that these decisions could have in other sectors. Mexican society response was extraordinary.
Today, few weeks after the contingency, the people and the Government of Mexico, gives you our warmest welcome on this transcendental occasion.
Diseases do not respect borders and the actions taken by each country have global consequences. The meeting “Lessons Learned and Preparedness” will be an opportunity for Ministers and experts to analyze what happened and evaluate how we are dealing with the pandemic influenza A (H1N1).
This International event will share and analyze the experiences and opinions of the Ministers and experts from the five Continents. The exchange of ideas and lessons will contribute and show the world how to face future challenges.
Mexico is honored with your presence and participation.
