Working Groups
The professional organizations (the adhering bodies) that comprise
the IUCH in turn sponsor the Congress in new locations every three
years. However, the international Working Groups established by
IUCH continue to deal the specific topics in disease prevention
and control, health and safety promotion, and health and safety
protection, between the Congress sessions.
Current working groups deal with cancer, environmental health,
family health, fetal alcohol syndrome, HIV, AIDS, and STDs, injury
prevention, tobacco and health, occupational safety, women's health,
and indigenous peoples. All of these topics are of special interest
to public health practitioners and researchers in the North.
The links to the left provide brief descriptions of the terms
of reference for each of the Working Groups.
