It gives us a great pleasure to invite you to the 8th National Congress & Workshop on Minimal Access Surgery organize by Indian Association of Gastrointestinal Endosurgeons to be held in the Pink City of India, JAIPUR from 14th to 17th February 2008.
IAGES - 2008 will ensure excellent exposure in the field of Laparoscopy and provide you with an opportunity to exchange views to update your knowledge and to acquire new strategies for better management of patients. The Minimal Access Surgery has become most relevant in today's practice of surgery. This conference will form an ideal platform to look at the earlier days, current state and debate on future perspective.
The Congress will be preceded by two days workshop designed to bring surgeons from across the globe to a common platform to share their views and developments on Endoscopy & Laparoscopy. This would provide an excellent forum for mutual learning and understanding.
Mahatma Gandhi Medical College & Hospital, Jaipur (Rajasthan) India is the venue of the congress. It is located in the heart of the Pink city which is well equipped with the state of the art equipment to support conferences of tremendous volumes.
Jaipur is one of the few cities in the world, which can astound and amaze you as much with its enormous variety. Where every step you take transports you back thousands of years or brings you face to face with a modern vitality. It seems to be one of those special cities that have transcended time and has retained its remarkable throbbing vitality, vivacity and colour. The lands come alive with exuberant folk dances, music, ballads and spectacular festivals that are an inseparable part of the soft golden sands of Rajasthan. Jaipur is a city, which has a style & fashion of its own, a land of superlatives…. Everything here is breath-taking, beautiful, impressive & fascinating.
Looking forward to your active participation.
With Regards,
Yours Sincerely,
