DATE : 31 January 2013
Dear Respected Prof/ Dr,
INVITATION TO INTERNATIONAL MALARIA SYMPOSIUM 2013
ORGANIZED BY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE UNIVERSITI MALAYSIA SABAH
Greetings from the “Land Below The Wind”, Sabah!
It is an unenviable fact that Sabah in East Malaysia has the highest number of cases of Plasmodium knowlesi in the world, the so-called 5th malaria species that infects man. In view of the challenges this malaria poses to the health of residents in Sabah and other parts of SE Asia, many international scientists are planning or already conducting research on this species.
To encourage further research and to provide a platform for scientists to share their experience in malaria research, not necessarily on P. knowlesi, the School of Medicine, Universiti Malaysia Sabah, is organizing an international conference on malaria on 16-17 April 2013. The theme is “New Challenges and Strategies in Malaria Control”.
As you are an active researcher in this area, we would like to participate in this conference and to share your experience with the participants especially those from this part of the world.
More details about the symposium are given in the document attached.
However, because of limited budget, we regret we are not able to sponsor your participation. We are looking forward to your participation.
Yours Sincerely,
Assoc Prof Dr. Chua Tock Hing
Chairman
Organizing committee
