It is my great pleasure to invite all those who are interested in managing musculoskeletal conditions of children to attend the combined Congress in Kuching, the “Cat City”. Kuching is the state capital of Sarawak, from where the “White Rajahs” ruled the territory for more than 100 years (1841 to 1946). Sarawak is located at the Northern shore of the Borneo Island, which is the third largest island in the world. It is fast becoming a popular tourist destination with a wide variety of attractions from eco-tourism to high-class golf courses.

For the Congress, we managed to invite many world experts in paediatric orthopaedic surgery to share their knowledge and clinical experience during the Congress. A group of senior members from Pediatric Orthopaedic Surgeons of North America (POSNA) will also be joining the team to provide high quality training programmes to
specialists and health personnel from this region.

I hope that you can also help us to disseminate the message to all those interested in both the clinical and research aspects of Paediatric
Orthopaedic Surgery. The Organising Committee is working hard to ensure that all those who set foot on Sarawak will not only improve their
clinical knowledge, but also have the chance to have experience the unpredictable yet enchanting tropical rain forest (one of the oldest in
the world) as well as the unique variety of flora and fauna.

See you in KUCHING.

Regards,

Dr Saw Aik
Organising Chairman (PAEDIATRICS)
