It will be very interesting to see what information comes out of these meeting and what guidelines, if any are given for families to prepare, not just nations.

Mexico readies for the celebration of a meeting on lessons learned from the Influenza A-H1N1 virus, where representatives from 50 countries will debate tools to prevent, limit and mitigate the pandemic.

The Moon Palace Hotel will welcome participants in the summit, starting July 1 through 3.

Miguel Angel Lezama, general director of the National Epidemiological Surveillance Center, told Prensa Latina the country expects to exchange with other nations on epidemiology of the new virus and the most effective control measures.

The meeting, to be opened July 2 by the Republic President Felipe Calderon, will discuss issues like risk communication, vaccination, retroviral treatment, medical and public health speeches in different contexts, strategic reserve, and sanitary regulation.

World Health Organization general director Margaret Chan, Pan-American Health Organization general director Mirta Roses, and members from seven international entities will also attend the summit.
