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
