MEDNET is an opportunity to review recent developments and meet the
innovators, to reflect on ten years of the Web and how it has changed the
world, and to look ahead to bringing the benefits of new information and
communication technologies to communities around the world. MEDNET welcomes
participants from all the many disciplines which together have made the
Internet an important new tool in the promotion of health.
