The idea that the Indian Medical Association (IMA) could host a congress on person-centered medicine (PCM) was presented at the 10th Geneva Conference on PCM in April 2017. The idea was well received and accepted by Prof. Ketan Desai, then President of the World Medical Association (WMA) and former President of the IMA. Soon thereafter preparations began as a collaborative effort of IMA and the International College of Person Centered Medicine (ICPCM). A contract was signed by representatives of IMA and ICPCM stipulating the framework and the financial issues of the congress.

Improve Health

We, participants in the 7th Geneva Conference on Person-centered Medicine, call on everyone to join together to promote person-centered and people-centered health care in order to improve health for all in ways that are equitable, sustainable, and cost-effective. Equity and integration in person-centered health care are crucial foundations for targeting opportunities for effective action. The International College of Person-Centered Medicine (ICPCM) adheres to the new perspectives on universal health care endorsed by the World Health Assembly since 2009 and reads with interest the 2013 Lancet Commission Report on “Global Health 2035:  World converging within a generation”, both of which outline objectives, research, and strategies for developing Person- and People-centered Integrated Care (PPCIC) for all people

Effective Assessment

The Manual on Effective Investigation and Documentation of Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, commonly known as the Istanbul Protocol, is an interdisciplinary standard supported by, among others, the United Nations and the World Medical Association. It aims at aiding the fight against torture by giving clear guidelines to ensure better and more effective assessment of physical and psychological sequels. Mental health is a key aspect of diagnostical assessment and documentation due to the severe and frequently long-lasting impact of torture that often lasts longer than physical sequels. The inclusion of psychological aspects and a psychiatric diagnosis is to be treated as an important obligatory. Care must be taken to avoid common pitfalls. The new and substantial revisions in the frequently used but also criticised Diagnostical and Statistical Manual (DSM) reflect challenges and opportunities in a comprehensive approach to the documentation of torture.
