The Estonian Medical Association (EMA) is a professional organization representing the interests of medical doctors in Estonia. It plays a crucial role in the development of healthcare policies, the promotion of medical ethics, and the continuous education of medical professionals in the country.

History[edit]

The Estonian Medical Association was established in 1921, shortly after Estonia gained independence. The organization was founded to unify medical professionals and to advocate for the improvement of healthcare services in Estonia. During the Soviet occupation, the association's activities were restricted, but it was re-established in 1988 as Estonia moved towards regaining its independence.

Objectives[edit]

The primary objectives of the Estonian Medical Association include:

  • Advocating for the rights and interests of medical doctors in Estonia.
  • Promoting high standards of medical practice and ethics.
  • Facilitating continuous professional development and education for doctors.
  • Contributing to the development of healthcare policies and reforms.

Activities[edit]

The EMA organizes various activities to support its objectives, including:

  • Conferences and Seminars: Regular events are held to discuss advancements in medical science and healthcare policy.
  • Publications: The association publishes the journal "Eesti Arst", which covers a wide range of medical topics and research.
  • Advocacy: The EMA actively participates in discussions with government bodies to influence healthcare legislation and policy.

Membership[edit]

Membership in the Estonian Medical Association is open to all licensed medical doctors in Estonia. Members benefit from access to professional resources, networking opportunities, and representation in national and international medical forums.

Governance[edit]

The EMA is governed by an elected board of directors, which includes representatives from various medical specialties. The board is responsible for setting the strategic direction of the association and ensuring that its activities align with its mission and objectives.
