EFIM condemns the attack on Ukraine.

We deplore the human casualties and ask to cease immediately the hostilities.

As physicians, we will never consider war as an option. War cannot be the response to any kind of action, as it generates only other suffering.

We would like to express our closeness to the Ukrainian colleagues who are experiencing the frustration and fear for the difficulties in taking care of their patients. 

It was a pleasure to welcome you and network with each society during the 6th EFIM Day that was held virtually on Friday 15 October. The 6th EFIM Day brought together round 75 participants virtually representing 26 EFIM member societies.
We hope that this was our last virtual meeting and the next one will be face to face during our congress in Malaga from 10 – 12 March.
