Welcome Message
Dear friends and Colleagues,
I am honoured to invite you to participate in the 2nd International Conference on Humanitarian Medical Missions (2nd ICHMM 2019) to be held in Singapore from 22-24 November 2019.
The 2nd ICHMM 2019 is organised by the Singapore Health Services (SingHealth), the largest public healthcare group in Singapore. It will also be a combined scientific effort by the healthcare community in the country, or Singapore Medicine.
This conference will bring together the variety of international groups that actively participate in conduct of humanitarian medical missions. The scientific program will cover information on multiple aspects of such missions from many perspectives. These topics will be presented through state-of-the-art lectures, symposia, panel discussions, workshops, free communications and poster presentations. The conference will carefully document lessons learnt at each track and transmit these to all interested groups for continuing development of the ideas created during the meetings. We will also have an exhibition that allows providers and recipients visualization of the latest equipment and supplies relevant to medical missions in different environments.
With all your participation we will be able to move with the Conference theme: COMPASSION, UNITY, ACTION
No effort will be spared to make the scientific programme exciting, productive and a major learning event for all participants. The 2nd ICHMM 2019 will be an excellent opportunity for networking, renewing old ties and making new friends. With more than 60 international and specialty-specific societies participating, the 2nd ICHMM 2019 will be a truly international event. It will offer the widest perspective in the world of Humanitarian Medical Missions and a fantastic opportunity to interact with the largest group of opinion leaders and industry giants and providers of such services that has ever come together at a single venue. This will create a platform for excellent scientific and international networking at the highest level. We expect more than 1,000 participants. There are many advantages in getting involved in this major event and tremendous scope for institutions to reach out to a wider group of humanitarian workers.
Singapore is also one of the smallest, yet most beautiful, countries in the world. It is almost “Heaven on Earth”. Well connected to all corners of the globe and affordable to all, the island nation is also the gateway to the wonders, pleasures and experiences of South-East Asia and the Far East.
I look forward to welcoming you to Singapore and making your participation in the 2nd ICHMM 2019 a success for your organization and an opportunity to create partnerships with many like-minded groups for many years to come.
Yours Sincerely,
Prof V.Anantharaman
Chairman
