INVITATION
It gives us immense pleasure to inform you that
the Department of Dermatology, Venereology &
Leprology, Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education &
Research (PGIMER), Chandigarh, India has been given the
honour by the Indian Association of Leprologists (IAL) to
organize the “LEPCON 2014â€, 29th Biennial Conference of
Indian Association of Leprologists on March 28-30, 2014.
Leprosy as a disease is indeed a problem which
requires a multi disciplinary approach. It still afflicts the
humanity, brings challenges and still arouses our curiosity.
There is no doubt that the global picture of leprosy is
different now than it was more than 30 years ago. It is true
that widespread use of MDT and improvements in patient
care led to a significant reduction in case numbers
worldwide and also to changes in the epidemiologic
features of the disease. However, it is clear that leprosy still
continues to be a major problem in many countries, India
having maximum burden of the case load. This is due to
the continued transmission of the disease, potential risk of
developing disabilities and deformities, with devastating
social and economic consequences. The Scientific
Program, under the experienced guidance of Dr Kiran
Katoch is being carefully prepared to make a serious effort
to satisfy the expectations of all by covering the
diagnostic, therapeutic, social, prevention of disabilities
and rehabilitation components. There would be an
opportunity to express your views and we invite you to
share your new approaches to a problem.
Chandigarh the host city as envisioned by India's
first Prime Minister, Sh. Jawahar Lal Nehru, was planned by
the famous French architect Le Corbusier. Picturesquely
located at the foothills of Shivalik, it is known as one of the
best example of urban planning and modern architect in
India. Chandigarh has many tourist attractions like Rose
Garden, Rock Garden, nearby Pinjore Garden and famous
hill station, Shimla. The weather in March is cool and light
wollen clothes are recommended.
Please make it convenient to attend the
conference, register early and ensure submission of
abstracts well in time. The organizing committee will strive
hard to make your stay pleasant and memorable. The
conference, we are sure will give you an additional
opportunity to meet old colleagues and make new friends.
With best wishes for a happy & successful New Year 2014.
Dr Sunil Dogra
(Organizing Secretary)
Dr Sanjeev Handa
