Dear Colleagues,

I am certain that the Congress will be a superb opportunity for you to meet colleagues, share knowledge and create productive partnerships. It is necessary to state that Registration for the congress is free and the congress secretariat will bear all costs (Continental Meals thrice daily, Conference Certficate, Conference Materials, etc) except transportation to Nigeria and Accommodation. type="text/javascript"><
As you know, infectious diseases has continually surprised and challenged us. New diseases emerge, known diseases spread and common diseases become incredibly resistant to available drugs. As professionals in the field we need to be smart, creative and vigilant in order to meet the evolving challenges. Indeed we can only succeed in this task by working together: by actively exchanging ideas, by generously sharing resources and by constantly collaborating.
The purpose of the 1st WACID is to promote all of these interactive activities among thousands of international experts and practitioners to the highest possible degree. Bricke International is very excited that the Launch of the 1st International Public Private Partnership (IP3) for Infectious Diseases Eradication and the 1st Africa Travel Medicine (ATM) conference will be held in conjunction with the 1st WACID. This educational program will be hosted by the Africa Health Initiative Act Now Center and Athens Corporation, together with the Bricke Institute for Health.
I am honored to recognize our collaboration with the World Health Organization, Karger Publishers, the American Journal on Infectious Diseases, NICON Hotels, the Lagos State Government and Athens Corporation. In addition, I welcome the cooperation of our colleagues from societies representing individuals from countries in the Africa and elsewhere with great enthusiasm.
The final program of the 1st WACID will include 30 Plenary Lectures, more than 40 Symposia, 30 sessions devoted to oral presentation of selected abstracts, meet-the-expert sessions and poster sessions.I encourage you to show your support for the Bricke Institute’s World Health Initiatives by making a presentation (oral, poster or paper) or exhibiting during the WACID 2009 Conference, and by taking advantage of this unique opportunity to be at the forefront of infectious disease eradication in the world.
I will be grateful if you could take a few minutes of your time to look at the various themes and subthemes available from which you could prepare your abstracts on. I look forward to discussing other information regarding the congress as soon you register.
With planning for the Congress well underway, I encourage you to mark its calendar so that you can join the over 2,000 delegates in VGC, Lagos State, Nigeria for a fantastic meeting in December 2009. The event website is been redesigned. Meanwhile all correspondences can be done through the temporary Bricke International website: www.brickecenter.biz.nf. How quick you register will go a long way in helping us plan better.
