Doctor Candida Cuevas, member of the Organizing Committee, asserted that the meeting will be very useful for professionals from different parts of the world to exchange their experiences, by way of round tables, symposia, lectures, posters and pre-congress courses, aimed at being more efficient in the comprehensive medical attention of athletes and at improving the quality of life of the population.

The forum will be inaugurated on May 30 at Havana’s Convention Center, and will close its doors two days later.

Pre-congress courses are scheduled to begin on Friday, at the National Sports Medicine Institute.
