Dear Esteemed Delegates,
It is with great pleasure and anticipation that I welcome you to the combined
International Conference of the SAARC Surgical Care Society and the 14th
National Conference of the Society of SURGEONS of Nepal, to be held from
November 21st to 23rd, 2024, in the enchanting city of Pokhara, Nepal.
Our theme for this year’s conference, “Unity in Diversity: Promoting Excellence
in Surgical Care Across SAARC Countries,” reflects our collective commitment
to fostering collaboration and advancing surgical practices across our diverse
and dynamic region. This conference serves as a unique platform for us to share
knowledge, innovate, and strengthen the bonds within our surgical community.
Nestled amidst the majestic Himalayas, Pokhara is renowned for its
breathtaking natural beauty, serene lakes, and rich cultural heritage. As you
immerse yourselves in the scientific sessions, take a moment to explore the
vibrant local culture, the warmth of Nepali hospitality, and the awe-inspiring
landscapes that surround us. From the serene Phewa Lake to the panoramic
views of the Annapurna range, Pokhara offers a perfect blend of nature and culture, providing an ideal
setting for both professional and personal enrichment
I encourage each of you to actively participate, engage in meaningful
discussions, and take full advantage of the networking opportunities. Together,
let us strive towards excellence in surgical care, guided by our shared vision of
unity in diversity.
Thank you for joining us in Pokhara. I look forward to an enriching and inspiring
conference experience with all of you.
