Message from the President

On behalf of ISBT, I am delighted to invite you to the XVI ISBT Regional Congress, Asia in Bangkok, one of the most exciting and vibrant location in the world. Come and enjoy the warmth and hospitality of the Thai people and taste their wonderful food while you get to know your colleagues of this part of the world by exchanging ideas and information.

The ISBT is grateful to the local organizing Committee and, in particular to Dr Rachanee O’Charoen for accepting to host this Congress which promises to be quite informative and enjoyable. After the December 2004 tsunami, Transfusion Services in the region in particular in Thailand have had to face a wave of human solidarity with thousands of people wanting to help by donating blood. We will hear about this difficult experience and the lessons learned from it.

Come to the Congress and then take the time to immerse yourself into the Thai landscape.

I truly hope that you can join us in Bangkok,

Dr. Francine Décary
President of ISBT
