About EFMI
The European Federation for Medical Informatics (EFMI) was formed in 1976 with assistance from the Regional Office for Europe of the World Health Orgnisation (WHO). Formed as a nonprofit organization, the EFMI is concerned with the theory and practice of information science and technology within health and health science in a European context. The objectives of the EFMI are to advance international co-operation and dissemination of information in medical informatics on a European basis; to promote high standards in the application of medical informatics; to promote research and development in medical informatics; to encourage high standards in education in medical informatics; and to function as the autonomous European Regional Council of IMIA.
