Main objectives of the new President
Dr. Bernard Ars, who succeeded Dr. John Lee, has presented the main objectives for his four-year mandate: to strengthen the inner life of the Catholic doctor, to spread the Christian vision of a Man, as well as to promote the compassion that the Catholic doctor has to develop towards the person in the vital and social precariousness, at the example of the “Good Samaritan”.

FEAMC embraces Youth Section and Dental Medicine Section representatives
For the first time in history, during the meeting of the Executive committee, the Dental Medicine Section (DDM) and the Youth Section (YS) have become part of the European Association of Catholic Medical Societies (FEAMC). These sections are already part of the Croatian Catholic Medical Society (CCMS), and now have FEAMC representatives.
This marked a big moment for the European as well as the World Association of Catholic Doctors, because until now these sections were not part of the work of European Federation of Catholic Medical Associations.
