World Congress on Men's Health set for Nice in October 2010

The Seventh World Congress on Men’s Health will take place in Nice, France on 28-30 October. This replaces any previous dates you may have seen advertised.

Entitled “Men’s Health: How to overcome the challenges?!”, the meeting will take a multidisciplinary approach focused on education. The congress's general secretary Professor Siegfried Meryn describes it as 'your one-stop for comprehensive multidisciplinary scientific exchange and solutions in urology, cardiology, endocrinology, oncology, sexual medicine, mental health, primary care, public policy, education, aging and beyond.'
