EM in Sri Lanka and the Region
Many consider this session to be the highlight of the DevelopingEM experience.
Hearing from experts from the host and surrounding nations on their experiences has previously been absolutely fascinating.
Nat Thurtle from Australia and Srilal De Silva from Sri Lanka have organised presenters from Sri Lanka, as well as Afghanistan, India, Nepal, Pakistan and Cambodia.
There will also be interactive discussion groups within this session.
During previous conferences these sessions have led to amazing and ongoing interactions between clinicians from around the globe.
Its sure to be another incredible track so don’t miss it.
This will be followed by 3 hours of Global EM discussion covering topics such as EM education, Disaster Preparedness and PreHospital Care in Developing settings.
