Presidents message
It is heartening to know that the Society for emergency Medicine, India, North East chapter is organizing EMCON 2009, the 11th Annual International Conference on Emergency Medicine at Guwahati, Assam.

I am happy that you have chosen a very appropriate theme in this millennium stressing on “Team work in Emergency care”.

The Medical Council Of India, in its amendment dated 21st July 2009, approved “Emergency Medicine” as a separate specialty in India & EMCON 2009 is the 1st conference being held after the approval.


Right from the day of its inception SEMI is constantly striving towards the vision to facilitate development and incorporation of this very necessary specialty in nook and corner of India with an aim to intervene at the life’s critical moments.

The rich heritage of researches, discoveries and development in the field of emergency medicine over the years have made this specialty a unique one not only inside the country but throughout the globe.

Since EMCON receives a unique catchments from members not only from the specialty of emergency medicine but also from related branches of medical fraternity the scientific deliberation and academic interactions during this conference will go a long way in enriching the noble tradition what emergency medicine is meant for.

Even though organizing such a conference of this scale and magnitude is a great challenge as well as a herculean task, yet the members of the organizing committee have left no stone unturned to meet the participant’s wishes and desire.

This years conference is scheduled for a total of five days which includes 2 days of Preconference Workshops on Disaster Management, Emergency Management of seriously ill and injured patients, Emergency Radiology, Pediatric Emergency Medicine, Mechanical Ventilation, Critical Care and Toxicology.

The main conference topics are also excellent and it is overwhelming to know that the faculties from all over the globe including USA, UK and Australia apart from well renowned emergency medicine faculties from India who have been the back bone for its growth in India.

I hope this conference will offer us an excellent opportunity to share information, discuss important issues, exchange ideas on priority emergency concerns of diverse nature and sum up our lesson from experience to draw meaningful recommendations and future work plan.

I wish the organisers of EMCON 2009 a grand success.
