Major statements were adopted on tobacco control, landmines and defensive medicine. A Danish initiative in setting up a network of doctors with expertise in identifying evidence of torture was endorsed. Responding to a report from the Liaison Committee, a study group ono "physicians' autonomy" was established. The Forum urged NMAs to carry out the first epidemiological study of physicians' smoking with the assistance of the Tobacco Resource Centre, which is jointly run by the Regional Office and the British Medical Association. An increase in the annual contributions of member associations to ECU 900 was agreed, and the Liaison Committee was authorized to investigate further sources of financial support. A new, enlarged handbook was welcomed, and full membership of the Croatian Medical Chamber and of the Association of Physicians of Russia was approvedCitação
