Dear colleagues,

20th National-2nd International Public Health Congress of Turkey, which will be organized by Association of Public Health Specialists, will be held between 13-17 November 2018 at the  Aska Lara Resort & Spa Hotel in Antalya, Turkey.

The global content of the public health has been redefined because of the health effects of the inebriate scientific technological developments in the twenty-first century. While science is lengthening the human lifespan, the increase in the intensity of economic activity is the main source of global social and environmental problems, and the deepening inequalities threaten public health. It is defined as "Changing World: Population, Climate, Diseases, Health Policies", the main theme of the 20th National - 2nd International Public Health Congress, hoping to transform the rapid changes and developments of life into opportunities for community health and create a more livable world. At the congress we want to meet all the relevant sectors, to discuss population exchange and movements in the changing world, to discuss climate change and related health problems and policies, to develop solution proposals and to develop ways to implement them.

We aimed to share knowledge and experiences with the conferences, panels, courses and verbal notifications which will be made during the congress, and to make efforts for the application of these results by communicating to the decision makers. In addition to the main theme, as in every congress, other public health issues that are included in the scope of our expertise will also be discussed.

Public health professionals, students at all levels of public health, those with postgraduate education in this area, academicians, health administrators, physicians, nurses, midwives, dentists, veterinarians, health officers, environmental health technicians and all health workers working in public health related areas are invited to the Congress.

We will be very honored and happy to be together with all friends interested in public health, in Antalya at the 20th National - 2nd International Public Health Congress.

Best regards

Congress Co-Presidents
