Slim Slama

I am Swiss Tunisian born, attending physician, working in a Division of International and Humanitarian Medicine, Department of Community Medicine and Primary Care,
Geneva University Hospitals. Apart from my clinical activities in an Emergency Division, I dedicate the rest of my time to the development of international cooperation activities, including research and teaching in the field of global health. I am also the Programme Director of the Geneva Health Forum (GHF), an international forum on global health issues which aims to give a voice to frontliners. Each edition (three to date gathered approx. 600 to 1000 people from more than 80 countries). A special emphasis is given to include colleagues and constituencies from developing countries.
The next edition of the GHF will be held in April 2012, in Geneva.

I am looking foward to expand my knowledge and share with like-minded people.
