Presidents Message

Dear Colleague,

I am pleased to invite you to the 6th Conference of The Paediatric Association of SAARC Countries (PAS) due to be held with the 12th Annual Scientific Congress of The Sri Lanka College of Paediatricians and The Paediatric Nursing Scientific Sessions, from the 17th - 20th of June, 2009, in Colombo, the capital city of Sri Lanka.

We are formulating a superlative Scientific Programme with the participation of several guest speakers from the Asia-Pacific region as well as from the West. A plethora of distinctive activities such as Plenary Lectures, Symposia and Free Papers will bring in the academic sparkle and will cater to the scholastic palate of those dedicated to child healthcare. We will also arrange a fabulous social programme to make your visit to Sri Lanka a truly memorable one.         We could also organize a pre-congress or post-congress holiday or a sightseeing tour for you to enjoy the natural beauty and cultural attractions of our land. 

I do hope that it would be possible for you to join us in June 2009 and look forward to welcoming you to this beautiful island.

With the very best of wishes.

Dr. H.T.Wickramasinghe
President, Sri Lanka College of Paediatricians
