Galla Dinner - 21st WCML, Coimbra, August 6th







Dear Colleagues and Friends, Welcome to Coimbra!




Dear Colleagues and Friends,

Welcome to Coimbra!

Welcome to the 2015 Annual Congress of the World Association for Medical Law – the 21st World Congress on Medical Law.

The WAML Annual Congress provides an international forum for discussion of a broad range of issues covering Ageing and Health Law, Informational Technology and Health Law, Migrations and Health Law, Islamic Bioethics and related topics.  220 abstracts were received and reviewed by the selection committee.

The 21st WCML is taking place in Coimbra from 2 to 6 August 2015.

Founded in 1290, the University of Coimbra is listed as UNESCO World Heritage site since June 2013.

The University of Coimbra shaped the character of the Portuguese Speaking countries, notably Brazil. This historical relation has nowadays a renewed interested since over 10% of the Students come from the biggest South-American country. In fact, Coimbra is a University town with a cosmopolitan flavor, since it attracts students and researchers worldwide, from China to Morocco, from East-Timor to Colombia.

The Faculty of Law and the Faculty of Medicine have a prominent role in the University and in the City. Therefore, Medical Law has been developing for a long period of time. Its roots can be found back in the beginning of the 20th Century with the first discipline on Law and Deontology of Pharmacists. Later on, in 1988, the Faculty of Law founded the Centre for Biomedical law, a European standard research institution in the field. In the last 20 years, the Faculty of Medicine also includes Medical law, together with Medical Ethics and Deontology in its curriculum. Moreover, Coimbra has one of the biggest Hospitals in Portugal, which ranks as very active on clinical research and education at a European level.

Thus, here we find an intellectual and spiritual environment and background for debating and studying Medical Law.

We came from all over the World to listen and to discuss with almost 200 speakers, coming from over 40 countries, from the 5 Continents, with very high-level presentations concerning the fields of (1) Ageing & Health Law; (2) Information Technologies & Health Law; (3) Migrations & Health Law, as well as very interesting presentation on general topics of Medical law.
Moreover, we are very happy to accommodate a superb Congress on Islamic Bioethics, on August 5th and 6th.

We also organized a nice social program, with a welcome reception by the pool and feeling the breeze of the Mondego River, Sunday evening; a terrific night tour to the World Heritage University, Monday evening; a wonderful town reception in the Cloisters of the Convent where the founder of the Portuguese Nation (D. Afonso Henriques) lies – the Church of Saint Cross, Tuesday evening  and, finally, a nice Gala Dinner with Portuguese traditional music - Fado – by the pool, illuminated by the moon, in a warm mid-summer night, Thursday evening


Special Acknowledgements:
I would like to gratefully acknowledge all who provided so much input and effort into the planning and implementation of the meeting. 

I sincerely thank our invited speakers for their contributions to the program.
