Dear friends and colleagues,
It is to my great pleasure & privilege to welcome you all on behalf of the executive council (office)&organizing committee to the pride of Red Sea-Portsudan for the great occation of our 21st SAP conference which will be held from 1st to 3rd of December 2016 under the theme “ ChildrensHealth is The Best Investment” To my knowledge this is the 1st time our society to have its scheduled annual conference outside the capital Khartoum. We think this new attitude of having one of these scientific conferences in the eastern part of our country will help to a great extent in promoting & improving child health services specifically in this region & so generally to our country.We hope by the end of this conference & its recommendations to fulfil our theme for the best of our childrens health in our country, Sudan.
This conference will be preceded by a well organized workshop on PICU followed by many sessions discussing different & important aspects of child health related to our country situation. Our partners from WHO & Ministry of Health will share actively in these presentations beside their financial & administrative support. I also thank & appreciate the participation & support of all drug companies without delay or hesitation. This conference will be followed by a full day specialized clinics by our very eminent & famous consultants. A well organized & extensive social program will accompany the scientific activities so as to enjoy the culture & life style of our Red Sea Pride. I am sure this conference will be a successful event with active participation & commitment of all and we'll see reviews in memo. My great thanks to all inistitutions, companies, societies & persons who participated in the efforts behind this event especially Red Sea government, WHO and Ministry of Health. My great thanks & appreciation for our organizing committee in Khartoum & alsoour eminent pediatric collegues in Portsudan who did a great job to have this excellent conference. Lastly my great thanks to the highly dedicated members of our society who worked day & night to overcome barriers & bring up this event to a reality.
