Asian Federation of Psychiatric Associations (AFPA) International Conference and Philippine Psychiatric Association (PPA) 44th Annual Convention is organized by Asian Federation of Psychiatric Associations (AFPA), Philippine Psychiatric Association (PPA) and will be held during Jan 24 - 26, 2018 at Philippine International Convention Center, Manila, Metro Manila, Philippines. The target audience for this medical event is Psychiatrics.
The program is poised to enhance and update the participants on scientific momentums, its impacts on current clinical practice, and future directions in the field, with a special focus on the Asian backdrop. Despite psychiatry’s prevailing strengths, it is not without limitations and intimidations, and the Asian backdrop is no exception. Currently, it deals with its diverse concerns in mental health such as the dearth of mental health professionals, the lack or uneven distribution and delivery of mental health services, the inadequate financial resources allocated to mental health and ultimately, the absence of fundamental national mental health legislation. Thus, the confederation and sharing of proficiencies among Asian countries is imperative as we concurrently open ourselves to emerging global prospects and breakthroughs.
With such mental health issues firmly gaining increasing global recognition and importance in the overall health agenda, this three-day event serves as a timely occasion for us to examine and look into social, therapeutic, and etiological expansions in the psychiatric domain and consider how they influence our clinical practice today and beyond.
