Event: Malaysian e-Congress of Geriatric Medicine

The Malaysian Society of Geriatric Medicine will be hosting the 16th National Geriatric Conference (Malaysian e-Congress of Geriatric Medicine) from 19th – 21st August 2021.  The full 3-day program, including a 1-day event with the Asia-Pacific Geriatric Network (APGN) will be held online this year.

The theme “Ageing with Resilience in the Face of COVID-19 Pandemic” has been chosen for the local and international experts to share their valuable knowledge and experience to help us manoeuvre this challenging time, with the hope to ultimately provide better care for the older persons. Resilience is important for us to bounce back from any illness, test and tribulation life may bring. Therefore, it is high time for us to work together to keep the older persons on the right track towards healthy ageing and to strive for excellence in delivering the geriatric services in the new norm.

We welcome research abstracts submission (poster and oral) on any topics pertinent to older persons. There will also be video and photo competitions – to cherish the memory of older persons being “strong and together” during the pandemic.
