Dear Ladies and Gentlemen!

Welcome to the April edition of GI-Mail.

The April edition of GI-Mail highlights key developments shaping global health, education, and system resilience at a time when international collaboration and informed leadership are more important than ever.

This month’s featured courses focus on communicable diseases, urban health, artificial intelligence, and global public health – reflecting the growing need for interdisciplinary thinking in addressing complex health challenges. From epidemiology and biostatistics to AI-driven behavioural modelling and global equity, the programmes presented here underline the evolving skill set required in modern health professions.

On the congress calendar, ESID 2026 and the Pan African Travel Medicine Conference emphasize the importance of international scientific exchange and regional cooperation in tackling immunological disorders, infectious diseases, and the health impacts of global mobility.

The Special Topic of the Month – European Immunization Week 2026 – serves as a timely reminder that vaccination remains one of the most powerful and cost-effective public health interventions, even as trust and policy debates continue to challenge health systems worldwide.

In »medicine & health«, we examine emerging risks to pharmaceutical supply chains, cybersecurity innovations in medical data protection, and new research linking muscle strength to longevity.
We invite you to explore this edition as a curated overview of global perspectives, professional development opportunities, and current healthcare debates.

Best regards,
Dr. Gerhard Polak and the Going International Team
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen!
