2 Message from the Organising Chairman On behalf of the Organising Committee of the 14th Annual Scientific Meeting of the Malaysian Association of Thoracic & Cardiovascular Surgery, I am pleased to invite you to this year’s meeting at The Saujana, Kuala Lumpur, to be held on 17th – 19th November 2011.

This meeting is very special to University Malaya and its Medical Center as Cardiothoracic Surgery has come a full circle back to where the first ever open heart surgery was performed in 1975. I am sure this meeting will also bring back fond memories to many of our senior local doctors, as many were graduates from this prestigious university.

‘Back to Basics and Beyond’ is the theme of this year’s meeting. We believe that there is a need to refresh basic knowledge of our specialty so that we can improve care and treatment to our patients. This year’s proceeding will prove to be an exciting and invaluable three-day gathering of local, regional and international medical care givers, covering issues of care for both adults and children with heart and lung diseases. We have invited experts, world class researchers and delegates consisting not only of surgeons and physicians, but perfusionists, nurses, rehabilitation specialists, physiotherapists and nutritionists to address issues related to the care of these patients.

We have planned three pre-congress sessions. The first session will encompass post-graduate cardiothoracic surgery course conducted in collaboration with experts from the United Kingdom, to look at the need of our young doctors. The second and third are sessions covering the basic and advances of cardiothoracic critical care and cardiopulmonary bypass for doctors, nurses and perfusionists, who are the key players in the care of our patients. We are excited to have also invited one of University Malaya’s original pioneering cardiac ‘team member’ surgeon to talk at the Razali Hashim Memorial Lecture.

Nobody will be left out during our meeting and we hope, at the end of this meeting, to make a difference in helping our delegates go home with a different attitude towards their work generally and improvement in the care of their patients.

The activities will be conducted in a relax atmosphere of the award winning Tropical Golf Retreat of The Saujana at the start of our children’s long school holidays, just minutes away from the bustling and exciting Kuala Lumpur. There will be Golf clinics for newbies, children and experience golfers, tours to the City and surrounding places such as Shah Alam Mosque, Jugra Palace and the romantic Port Kelang and surrounding Islands.

The Gala Dinner and Charity Event will be held at the prestigious and famous Dewan Tunku in the green campus ground of the University Malaya itself. We are proud to announce that The Chancellor of University Malaya, HRH Sultan Azlan Shah of , has agreed to grace the event accompanied by the Pro Chancellors and their spouses. We will be entertained by the UM Combo orchestra, famous singers and comedians. The proceeds from this event will go to the MATCVS and UMMC cardiac surgery funds to provide financial support to our young doctors to pursue further training, and also help patients to obtain the best medical care possible at University Malaya Medical Centre.

We are confident that this meeting will become a new standard for our Society’s future meetings. So, set these dates aside on your calendar, pack your bags and join us in this once in a lifetime occasion. See you there.
