Kuala Lumpur will host the inaugural Asia Pandemic Congress at the MITEC, Kuala Lumpur from 27 to 29 September 2022 in response to the urgent need for the experts and practitioners to share information, get updated on latest developments and formulating strategies in combating COVID-19 and potential pandemics in Asia.
The world has experienced many pandemics however, none has impacted more than the COVID 19 pandemic which has drastically changed the way we live, work and play and caused immense economic losses to countries and put tremendous stress on the healthcare and medical services.
Asian countries including China, Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam and Cambodia that were among the earliest to be affected by the COVID-19 have managed to control its spread and limit the loss of lives. This success is a result of healthcare preparedness and treatment and stringent enforcement of movement control, isolation, quarantine, social distancing and the wearing of facemasks.
It is imperative that Nations come together to share information, experience, best practices and SOPs in a holistic approach in prevention, mitigation and minimize loss of lives. It also calls for a coordinated approach to the development and production of therapeutics and vaccines in a speedy manner.
