World Congress for Disaster and Emergency Medicine 2015New Delhi, India

It's a great honour, privilege and pride for our country as WADEM endorses India as the Venue for World Congress for Disaster and Emergency Medicine in the year 2015.

A number of premier national organizations joined hands together in a bid to host the World Congress in

thDisaster and Emergency Medicine (19 WCDEM) in India. These were the NDMA (National Disaster Management Authority), NIDM (National Institute of Disaster Management), AIIMS (All-India Institute of Medical Sciences), TISS (Tata Institute of Social Sciences), INDUS-EM (The INDO-US Emergency and Trauma Collaborative), NIMHANS (the National Institue for Mental Health and NeuroSciences),Post-Graduate Insitute Chandigarh, among others. The World Congress is likely to be hosted in the capital city of New Delhi and hopes to bring together the best disaster experts from the SEARO (South-East Asia Region) countries which are Bhutan, Bangladesh, DPR Korea, India, Indonesia, Myannmar, Maldives,Nepal,SriLanka,Thailand.

Even though these are countries most commonly affected by disasters and conflict, the SEARO countries will be hosting the World Congress for the

first time in their region. This event will provide the impetus to the various disaster preparedness and mitigation programs, at the national and the community level, by attracting multidisciplinary disaster workers onto a common platform, for discussion. As a Board member of the World Association of Disaster and Emergency Medicine experts, it is an honor to invite you to Incredible India for your academic contribution and support to the science of disaster and emergency medicine.

I am sure this congress would make the whole world be prepared to fight any threat of any nature either manmade or environment.

Lets join hands and work as a Team to make this Congress a great academic extravaganza and learn to implement the structure and protocol for disaster preparedness.

Namaste!
