From the organizers: Join our virtual symposium New Realities in Times of COVID-19: A Humanistic Response, conducted in response to the urgent need to promote a humanistic vision during this global pandemic. Facing one of humanity’s greatest enemies in recent times, never has there been such a pressing need to promote international co-operation. Following reflection on the closure of borders, economies, and social isolation, we will present a united way forward, giving prominence and importance to the new reality in public health with special emphasis on mental health.

Key opinion leaders, scientists, and educators, will seek to present a comprehensive and integrative vision, aspiring towards the vision of refocusing life in society and a way forward for the medical profession to fundamentally refocus on human and humanistic principles for the benefit of everyone.
