- After successfully hosting a
clinical refresher course for Cambodia's provincial
doctors coordinated by the Ministry of Health and WHO
at the Kantha Bopha Center in Angkor, the Kantha Bopha
Hospitals, in collaboration with the Ministry of
Health and WHO proposed to jointly organize and host
an International Conference on Dengue
Fever.
- Dengue Fever in Cambodia is
no longer an epidemic but rather, has reached endemic
proportions. Thousands of children in a state of shock
or pre-shock have to be hospitalized every year.
- We are keen to learn what is
actually known about all the different aspects of
Dengue Fever. We are keen to learn what can be done
better and what is actually being done in the field of
research and development of medicines and drugs; what
are the perspectives for the near future.
- We are pleased that the
Dengue project managers for all ASEAN countries are
present.
- We are very happy and
grateful that so many experts and such prominent key
speakers from all over the world have accepted our
invitation.
- I extend a heartfelt welcome
to all the participants and I hope the work we will
accomplish during these two intensive days will help
brighten the darkness of Dengue fever
suffering.
