Report on 9th World Congress on Environmental Health

The 9^th Congress on Environmental Health was held in Dublin, Ireland, from 19 to 23 June 2006. Organised by the Environmental Health Officers’ Association of Ireland, in association with the Institute of Environmental Health, the venue at Trinity College was most appropriate. Located in the heart of Dublin city it was surrounded by hotels, entertainment and shopping – a shopping haven for accompanying persons. Trinity College is one of the oldest educational institutions in Ireland and is the alma mater of many Irish delegates.

At the Welcome Reception (from left to right), Messrs Koh Geok Beng, Colm Smyth (new President, IFEH), Ray Ellard (Hon Secretary, IFEH), Lim Ching Geok and Chua Kok Swee.

Attendance at the Congress was impressive with about 450 delegates (including speakers, exhibitionists and guests) from 35 countries. Singapore was represented by the President of the Society, Mr Koh Geok Beng, Vice-President, Mr Lim Ching Geok and, immediate-past President, Mr Chua Kok Swee. The Congress, held once every two years, is a suitable forum for participants to share their experiences, creativity, research and knowledge in the field of environmental health. There was ample opportunity to net-work with our colleagues from all over the world.
