The central topic of the conference, which will be held in Brazil for the first time, is \u201cPrimary health care: many perspectives, one goal.\u201d Industry professionals from over 20 countries are expected, including lecturers from the United States, Switzerland, Chile, Israel, India, Belgium, Australia and Canada.<\/p>\n
