SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT AND LATE CALL FOR PAPERS

Dear Colleagues,
Following the interest and enthusiasm generated by the First International Congress
on “Pediatrics in the Community – 2000+” held in Jerusalem in July 1997, and
encouraged by the success of the Congress stimulated by requests from colleagues
from all over the world and from Israel, the Board of the Israel Ambulatory Pediatric
Association has decided to organize the Second International Congress on Pediatrics
in the Community (SIPCC), in Jerusalem, April 9-13, 2000.
The Congress Theme, Pediatrics in the Community, will examine the increasing
importance of community-based services in the third millennium.
Experts in different fields of Pediatrics and allied professions will be invited to
present lectures and symposia on the state of the art in these areas. There will
also be sessions and lectures directed at the future of these fields in the next
century.
A full range of social and cultural activities is being planned. There will of course
be opportunities for touring the City of Jerusalem and the rest of Israel, as well as
neighboring countries.
The Congress will be sponsored by the leading international organizations in
Pediatrics.
I look forward to seeing you in Jerusalem.
Please mark your Calendar!
Sincerely,
Dr. Samuel Gross
Congress President
