ScientiFic PrograMMe

E ffective communication has always been an issue and a great challenge for good outcome in Palliative Care.

For the 9th Malaysian Hospice Congress in May 2010, we have eminent speakers from Australia, Singapore and Malaysia to help us improve our communication skills. As we all know, communication is more than a two-way process. It involves our conscious as well as subconscious minds.

This congress will serve as a platform for communication and networking amongst fellow palliative care providers across Malaysia as well as to meet up with experts in the field of palliative care. May we have a great time together learning and sharing. See you in the beautiful bougainvillea city of Ipoh in May 2010.
