It gives me immense pleasure to announce the onset of preparations for the 12th Congress of Asian Federation of Coloproctology (AFCP) to be held at New Delhi in conjunction with the 32nd National Conference of Association of Colon and Rectal Surgeons of India (ACRSI) and the 13th Advanced Instructional Course & Pre-Conference Workshop of ACRSI.
I feel privileged to be entrusted with the task of organizing the 12th Congress of AFCP. We have chosen the theme of Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery due to the rapid advances that have been made in this area. Other topics of interest with the colorectal surgeries will be covered during this congress in the format of symposia, seminars, panel discussions, guest lectures and paper presentations, participated by an eminent faculty.
I would like to invite all of you to attend the Live Workshop as well as the Congress in large numbers so that a truly International Interactive Event of ideas and experiences can lead to the knowledge reaching the next level.
I hope to be able to present a worldview of scientific, social and cultural facets of the Pan Asian congregation at this event.
