Date: 12th – 14th July 2012; Venue: Shangri-La Hotel, Kuala Lumpur , Malaysia
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
On behalf of the Organising Committee, I would like to extend our warmest invitation to you to attend the 46th Malaysia– Singapore Congress of Medicine with the participation of the Royal College of Physicians, London to be held in Kuala Lumpur from 12th – 14th July 2012.
The theme of the 46th MSCM is “Cardiometabolic Diseases: Are We Up for the Challenge?”. Cardiovascular and metabolic diseases including obesity, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidaemia, and hypertension are the leading and preventable causes of death worldwide. The current scenario prognosticates a dramatic increase in disease burden over the next two decades, leading to a worldwide pandemic. Asia-Pacific countries are now seeing a rapid increase in cardiometabolic disease and its attendant complications.
As the theme of the Conference indicates, the scientific programme will address the current challenges of cardiometabolic health, both globally and in the region. The scientific content will include the epidemiological, clinical and laboratory aspects of cardiometabolic diseases, alongside the key public health issues of preventative strategies.
The Congress will provide a very good platform for the exchange of experience and expertise. Aside from immersing yourself in these rewarding scientific activities, Kuala Lumpur is also a vibrant and culturally diverse city that promises to provide you a memorable visitor experience during the entire period of your stay.
Looking forward to welcoming you in Kuala Lumpur .
With best wishes,
Professor Dr Roslina Abdul Manap
Chairperson,
Organising Committee Prof Dato’ Khalid Yusoff
President
College of Physicians, AMM
