“When the Covid - 19 pandemic began in China, I could not imagine the impact it would havesubsequently in our daily lives for a while. In March, with the lockdown in the western countries itwas still difficult to imagine the consequences in the short, middle and long term.When we decided to postpone our 10th Rural Health forum to 2021, we had two alternatives:- no forum in 2020- a virtual forum in 2020.We thought it was unfair to leave all our rural colleagues without support, news and perspective, sowe decided to launch the e-Forum.If you search on google "A friendly e-forum" you will not find any relevant references. After our firstrural health e-forum, I hope you will find one.Imagine, imagine all the opportunities provided by the new communications tools in combinationwith good humour, kindness, friendliness - that is the challenge we took up.It was a pleasure to prepare it, it will be a pleasure to attend.”Register, and Enjoy!Jean-Pierre Jacquet, President of EURIPA
