President of APIMSF (2017-2019)
I cordially invite you to the 1st APIMSF Congress, organized by the Ambroise Pare International Military Surgery Forum in cooperation with the Military Hospital of the State Border Service of the Republic of Azerbaijan and the Turkish-Azerbaijani Endoscopic Surgeons Association. The Congress will take place between May 15-18, 2018 in the beautiful city of Baku. The event program is very rich both from scientific and practical perspectives. Republic of Azerbaijan stands out globally with its distinctive experience in military medicine. This gathering will prove to be a forum for discussing the experience gained over years, analyzing the results obtained, as well as improving services in the field of military surgery and disaster medicine and other medical issues.
During the congress, medical centers with vast experience in military surgery will share their valuable experience with us. It is clear that compared to previous years we have come a long way in military medicine, especially in the field of military surgery, and we are looking forward to different opinions from our guests coming from all over the world. APIMSF has got over 30 years of experience shared by members and invited experts. This experience sharing and cooperation between colleagues made it possible to create a unique platform in the field of military surgery and made APIMSF one of the most prestigious and reputable organizations in the field. APIMSF is also a part of ISS-SIC and the biannual APIMSF meeting will take place under the auspices of the congress. Being a part of ISS makes APIMSF even stronger.
The congress will host authoritative surgeons and other doctors who will deliver great lectures and guide the congress sessions. Furthermore, our local doctors with significant experience in the field of military surgery and disaster medicine will be pleased to share it with the colleagues from different countries.
I must emphasize that we are going to have a rich social program during the congress. You will get to know Azerbaijan as a hospitable country with centuries-old traditions, with its pluralism and multiculturalism.
I have no doubt that hosting this congress will contribute to development of the military surgery in our country and lay grounds for future achievements, which will contribute to the world medicine.
I hope that the Congress will be useful and interesting for experienced surgeons and young doctors alike.
With my warmest wishes,
