Invitation

Dear Colleagues and Friends, 
                                               
The Asian Society for Paediatric Urology (est. 1998) and the World Federation of Societies for Paediatric Urology (WOFSPU) are holding a their first joint meeting as a Global Plenum. The Congress in Istanbul, Turkey on the 27th-29th of October, 2010 is a unique opportunity for representatives of societies and paediatric urologist alike, to meet and confer on practical questions, as well as  issues of universal interest.  

The dynamics of the world we live in is much different than the days when paediatric urology was coming of age and organising itself into bodies. Health demographics are changing rapidly, and the modes of training and transmission of  knowledge call for new definitions in child health, especially for nephro-urological conditions.       
                       
The Global Plenum on Paediatric Urology headed by the ASPU and the WOFSPU is characterised by and will be remembered for its discussions, insights into future ventures, and enduring friendships. Doubtless, Istanbul will add stamina to the event ! 

Please take a few minutes for the visual introduction to Istanbul to accustom yourselves.

With warm personal regards,

Seref Etker, MD
Congress President
ASPU Vice-President
