18th European Congress of Internal Medicine (ECIM)

18th European Congress of Internal Medicine (ECIM) is organized by European Federation of Internal Medicine (EFIM) and will be held from Aug 29 - 31, 2019 at Congress Center Lisboa, Lisbon, Portugal.

Description:
The theme of the congress is “Innovation in Health Care: New Opportunities for Internal Medicine”.
