Invitation to the 4th Asia Pacific Travel Health Conference
Dear ISTM Member,
On behalf of the local Organizing Committee, I am pleased to invite you to attend the 4th Asia Pacific Travel Health Conference (4APTHC) to be held at International Convention Center, Shanghai, China, October 20-23, 2002.
Our aim is to provide our colleagues, both in our region as well as the world, with state-of-the-art reviews and current information in travel medicine. Topics that will be covered include malaria, arboviruses, diarrheal diseases, HIV, STDs, vaccinations, emerging infections, travel medicine practice, wildness medicine, and medical care in the Asia Pacific region.
Shanghai is the largest city and the financial center of China, and has undergone tremendous development in recent years. Shanghai is an enchantingly beautiful, world-class, international metropolis, with buildings of various architecture, and charming boulevards lined with shady green trees.
I am looking forward to meeting ISTM members in Shanghai. I am confident that your participation and contributions will add to the success of this conference. And for delegates and guests interested in touring Shanghai, the Shanghai area, and more distant areas of China there will be a wide selection of excursion with professional, English-speaking guides.
