ISQua Welcome
ISQua warmly welcomes you to Hong Kong and our 28th
International Conference which has been organised in collaboration
with the Department of Health of the Hong Kong Special
Administrative Region Government, and the Hong Kong Hospital
Authority. The theme of the conference is “Patient Safety: Sustaining
the Global Momentum using e-health, health technology, education,
research and policy”. Organising this conference would not have
been possible without a Programme and Planning Committee which
this year was Co-Chaired by Mr Philip Hassen, ISQua President and
Dr Ping-Yan Lam, Director of Health, Hong Kong. ISQua extends its
appreciation to them for their leadership and to the Local Organising
Committee and the ISQua staff for their role in planning this major
event, the largest international health care conference to be held in
Hong Kong this year.
This is also the largest ISQua conference to date with 2000
delegates from both around the globe and locally registered to
attend. The Call for Abstracts attracted an exceptional response
with 1081 submissions from 57 countries received. The conference
