What is the future of epidemiology?Raj Bhopal a, Gary J Macfarlane b, William Cairns Smith c , Robert West d, on behalf of

the Management Executive Committee for the XIX World Congress of Epidemiology

“Increasing global connectivity has facilitated the development of epidemiology through open access to electronic publication databases, sharing of research tools, and knowledge exchange through interactive websites and discussion lists. Supercourse,2 a dynamic repository of lectures on epidemiology and global health, is an excellent example of this global connectivity.”

One segment which I feel we need to reach out first, are schools all over Pakistan but particularly in cities like Lahore and Islamabad who experienced earthquake but fortunately escaped with out major damage. These young minds are also affected by the stories of hundreds of young students who have lost their lives in other areas. We look forward to your help in this regard. Khawar
