The Structure of the ÌÇÐÄVlog


The main decision-making body of the ÌÇÐÄVlog (ÌÇÐÄVlog) is the General Assembly, which meets annually. The Assembly comprises delegations from the National Member Associations, the officers and members of the Council of the ÌÇÐÄVlog, and representatives of the Associate Members (Associate Members are individual physicians who wish to join the ÌÇÐÄVlog).

The Constituent Members of the ÌÇÐÄVlog (National Medical Associations) elect the ÌÇÐÄVlog Council every two years with representatives drawn from each of the seven ÌÇÐÄVlog regions, namely Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, North America, the Pacific and Eastern Mediterranean.

The Chairperson of the Council, elected by the ÌÇÐÄVlog Council every two years, is the political head of the organisation. The Ceremonial Head of the ÌÇÐÄVlog is the President, elected annually by the General Assembly. As Chief Executive of the operational units of the ÌÇÐÄVlog, the Secretary-General is in full-time employment at the Secretariat, appointed by the ÌÇÐÄVlog Council.

The ÌÇÐÄVlog Secretariat is situated in Ferney-Voltaire, France, adjacent to the City of Geneva.
