Dear Esteemed Delegates of the 72nd APCON,
It is a great pleasure for me to welcome you all to the 72nd annual conference of Indian Association of Pathologists and Microbiologists going to be held at SCB Medical College and Hospital, Cuttack, Odisha from 11th to 15th December, 2024. Cuttack being rich with its ancient history, culture and hospitality, will be an ideal place for the assembly of distinguished pathologists and researchers from every corner of our country as well as abroad.
I hope this prestigious event will become an ideal platform for all the eminent pathologists to exchange their knowledge and share their experience with each other which will help the budding pathologists to enrich themselves.
The theme of this conference, ‘Pathologists in the digital era’, reflects the need of the hour for early diagnosis and management in the health care delivery to improve patient outcome.
I request all the delegates including post graduate students to actively participate in all the scientific sessions, workshops, and discussions to make the conference highly successful and productive.
Long Live IAPM
