An Invitation to Attend

Dear Colleagues,

We on behalf of the organizing committee of the 7th PGES, take great pleasure in extending a warm invitation to attend this meeting to be held in SGPGI, Lucknow from 6-10th November, 2005.

Since 1993, the Department of Endocrine Surgery at SGPGI has held 6 successful biennial meetings and the year 2005 provides yet another opportunity to attend an exciting scientific program. The delegates will have an opportunity to interact, both socially and academically with a galaxy of eminent International and National Endocrine Surgeons and Endocrinologists.

The theme of the meeting this year is “Decision Making in Common Surgical Endocrine Disorders”. The program is designed not only to widen the horizon of those already initiated into the exciting world of Endocrine Surgery but also to stimulate the minds of the uninitiated.

Mark the dates in your diary and look forward for an exciting time both academically and socially.
