46th Malaysian Orthopaedic Association (MOA) Annual General Meeting / Annual Scientific Meeting and 10th ASEAN Arthroplasty Association Meeting 2016

46th Malaysian Orthopaedic Association (MOA) Annual General Meeting / Annual Scientific Meeting and 10th ASEAN Arthroplasty Association Meeting 2016 is organized by Bloom Communications and would be held during May 25 - 28, 2016 at Persada Johor, Johor Baharu, Johor, Malaysia.

The theme for this year meeting is “Fundamentals In Orthopaedics – Back to Basics”. With the rapid advancement of medicine and the exciting array of implants and surgical approaches that are pitched to surgeons on an almost daily basis; it is good for us to take stock and go back to basics to review the fundamentals of the way we practice orthopaedics. By doing so, it helps us to focus back on why and how we practice. This, I believe will help each of us to remember to see our patients as a whole person and therefore deliver better healthcare to those we have taken the oath to care for. By doing so, we will also be sharing and guiding our future orthopaedic surgeons down the right path.
Our MOA ASM organising committee under the capable leadership of Dato’ Dr Azmi Baharudin and Associate Professor Dr Abdul Halim Abd Rashid will no doubt come up with a comprehensive scientific programme. I look forward to the interesting entries for the competitive Mahmmod Merican Best Masters Thesis Awards and Best Basic Science Poster Awards this time around. We also hope to receive more entries for the Subir Sengupta Best Published Clinical Paper Award and P. Balasubramaniam Best Published Translational Medicine Paper Award.
I am proud to announce that the 10th ASEAN Arthroplasty Association Meeting 2016 will be joining our meeting. We look forward to reconnecting with many fellow arthroplasty surgeons from around our region during this meeting. With Professor Dr Azlina Amir Abbas at the helm of the AAA meeting organising committee, we can all anticipate highly thought-provoking and highly interactive sessions.
