Welcome Address from Organising Chairperson
Greetings from Johor Bahru!
On behalf of the Organising Committee, we welcome you to the Malaysian Thoracic Society Annual Congress 2024. With immense pleasure and a deep sense of pride, this is the first time the congress is being held physically in Johor Bahru, and it coincides with the second anniversary of the establishment of the Paediatric Respiratory Unit in Hospital Sultanah Aminah, Johor Bahru.
This annual congress is not just a gathering of medical professionals but a testament to the collaborative spirit and dedication that defines the Malaysian Thoracic Society. Our commitment to advancing knowledge, fostering innovation, and improving patient care has brought us together for this significant event.
This year's congress promises to be an enriching experience featuring diverse scientific and clinical topics, cutting-edge research, and invaluable networking opportunities. We have curated a comprehensive programme addressing the latest advancements in thoracic medicine, providing a platform for dialogue and exchanging ideas among experts from various specialties/places.
Our esteemed and well-known speakers and presenters will travel from different corners of the globe to share their insights and expertise with us. Their contributions will undoubtedly contribute to the depth and breadth of knowledge that we, as a medical community, can harness for the benefit of our patients.
We are incredibly grateful to the sponsors, exhibitors, and partners who have generously pledged their support for this congress. Your commitment to our cause is instrumental in making this event a success, and we are truly thankful for your collaboration.
To all the delegates, we encourage you to actively engage in the sessions, participate in discussions, and take full advantage of the networking opportunities available. The Malaysian Thoracic Society Annual Congress is not only a platform for learning but also a forum for building connections that can last a lifetime. In addition, we are confident that the Gala Dinner networking and entertainment this year will be an unforgettable experience that will last a lifetime.
As we embark on this journey of exploration and collaboration, let us keep in mind the ultimate goal that unites us – the well-being of our patients. Together, we can push the boundaries of knowledge, inspire innovation, and impact thoracic medicine meaningfully.
