I am delighted to present the June edition of GI-Mail.

This issue brings you a selection of outstanding educational opportunities and international conferences covering essential topics in medicine and healthcare. Among these, we would like to highlight the online course "International Women’s Health and Human Rights", offered by Standford University, and "The East African Clinical Tropical Medicine Course", taking place in Kampala, Uganda in summer 2026. 

We also warmly invite you to participate in the "11th International Conference on Public Health – ICOPH 2025” in Thailand and the "18th European Public Health Conference" in Helsinki, Finland. These events provide excellent opportunities to expand your knowledge and connect with leading experts in their fields.

A special highlight in this edition is the article Measles in Europe: A Preventable Disease, emphasizing the importance of this topic due to the fact that it has returned to Europe, spreading in schools and hospitals, affecting numerous young children as well as the old. 

Additionally, don't miss the latest  "medicine & health" news and explore current job opportunities for doctors and nurses in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.

I hope you find this issue both insightful and inspiring. As always, we welcome your feedback, questions and suggestions.

Warm regards

Dr. Gerhard Polak and the Going International Team

Taught by Anne Firth Murray, Founding President of The Global Fund for Women, and Kevin Hsu, an innovator in educational design, the course is designed to educate, engage, and empower learners across the world.

Smallpox and the Fragile State of Bioterrorism Preparedness

by: outbreaknewstoday.substack.com, USA.
While the world focuses on cyber threats and conventional warfare, an older and deadlier threat lies dormant - waiting for the right moment. Smallpox, once eradicated, could resurface not by natural means, but through bioterrorism.

The question isn’t just if we’re ready - but what happens if we’re not?
