Dear Congress participants,

We have reached the end of the Second Virtual Congress of General Practice and Family Medicine, a unique web event that joined more than 1200 doctors and other healthcare professionals from 75 different countries.

In the last 3 months more than 150 scientific presentations were presented online, focusing a wide range of areas in medical knowledge, such as eHealth, patient empowerment, peer-to-peer communication, disease prevention and treatment.

It is with great honor that we announce the closing ceremony, that is available here. The kind words of Fernando Santos, chairman of the Second Virtual Congress, and the closing lecture "Consumers and Science Behind Healthcare" by Janet Wale, convenor of The Cochrane Consumer Network, surely bring a unique ending to this event.

During the following days, the scientific committee will announce the winners of the best e-oral presentation and best e-poster presentation.

My best wishes, and a joyous holiday season.

Alexandre Gouveia

In the name of the Organizing Committee, I am proud to announce the Opening Ceremony of the Second Virtual Congress of General Practice and Family Medicine.

My best wishes,
