|
Your experiences about the travel processes(Providing ticket, accommodation,...) : |
Except for expensive tickete ( 40000000 tomans) ) I had no specific problem in providing tickete
-The mission days for delegates are not enough for south hemisphere ( 2 days plus congress days) , the site of congress is so far from Iran and no direct flight from Tehran is now , so I had changed 3 flight from TEHRAN-Qatar -Juhanesburg - Cape town .
Longer time for stay ( Qatar) in return to Tehran . |
|
Please give a briefing of your own observations and outcomes of the congress: : |
Due to long destination from north hemisphere the deligates are lower than previous WSPID that I invited in last years ( poland) so the quality of articles were lowER than previous congress , most articles specified to African countries which are different from other regions .fOR EXAMPLE THE YELLOW FEVER, tHE bREAST FEEDING ,aids AND MANY HEALTH PROBLEM WHICH WAS SPECIFIC FOR aFRICA AND ARE NOT FOR US .
-bUT THE VACCINATION ARTICLES SPECIALLY NEW VACCINES FOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIS LIKE OUR COUNTRY WAS VERY ATTRACTIVE FOR ME. tHE IMPORTANCE OF CHANGIN IN VACCINATION PROGRAMS OF iRAN IS IMPORTANT AND NEEDED NOW |
