Dear Colleagues and friends,

I hope you are all well while we continue to battle the COVID-19 pandemic.

As you all know, our World Congress of Public Health will this year be staged electronically and I hope you are all registered for the event.

I wished to point out some of the main Chronic Diseases Section events at the congress and to urge you to attend and participate in as many as possible.

These include one plenary session on beating Cancer, two workshops on AMR and Cancer and on Food processing in the Modern Era.

Don’t miss the EUPHA CHR Network meeting on Thursday 15^th October!
