Since their creation in 1978 by the French journalist Liliane Laplaine-Month, the World Medical and Health Games have claimed to have The Olympic Spirit as it was intended by the Baron Pierre De Coubertin: Beauty of sport and abundance of effort. 

These are the values that still guide us today in the organization of this event and every sports enthusiast enrolling in the Games agrees to honor the following motto:

In the World Medical and Health Games, we agree to face each other in our sporting challenges with the willingness to try our chances, in a spirit of friendship, with respect for our counterparts and for sporting and indeed professional ethics, hoping to revive a spirit of fair-play even beyond our performance, a spirit that might act as an example for more important international competitions.
