KON 13040/11/2011 (0289 SE by Dato Seri Dr T Devaraj ee eo es 14th ~ 17th July 2011 of Malaysia, Penang Branch Hotel Equatorial, Penang This series of regional meelings has come to Malaysia for the firs lime. The Asia Pacific Hospice Palliative Core Network (APHN) was established to empower and support individuals and ‘organizations committed to alleviating suffering from life threatening liness in the Asia Pacific region. It arose in 1995 from the vision and generosity of Dr Shigeaki Hinchara who was the Chaitman of the Life Planning Centre, Tokyo, an eminent physician who had set up "Peace House” not far ‘away from Mount Fuji. It was the first in-patient hospice outside hospitals. Following a series of meetings of representatives from some counties in the region, including Malaysia, APHN was formally registered as a charity in Singapore on 1 March 2001. Dr Hinchara who is well into the nineties is the Patron of APHN. The regional hospice conferences had been initiated earlier beginning thus ~ Singapore 1989 and 19%, Hong Kong 1999, Taipei 2001, Osaka 2003, Seoul 2006, Manila 2007 and Perth 2009. The Malaysian Hospice Council (MHC], a member of APHN has been given the task of organizing this, its 9h conference. ‘The conference theme “Palliative Care in Mainstream Medicine" was chosen to reiterate that caring is the responsibilty of all health professionals looking after the sick - that basically itis just good medical care that can be delivered in any setting. it is hoped that those attending this conference would help advance the integration of palictive care with mainstream medicine in their respective counties. ‘he firs! day will be devoted 10 participatory workshops for health professionals and volunteers followed by three days of plenary sessions and symposia. The social events wil be a welcome reception, the opening, a banquet and at the closing a promotion of the 10th APHC scheduled to be in Thailand in 2013. Through courtesy of state tourism our mult-tacetted culture would be displayed and city and heritage tours for the accompanying persons of foreign delegates arranged. To all our wonderful donors, supporters, volunteers, staff and well wishers “Wishing you a Beautiful Holiday Season and a New Year of Peace and Happiness” From the National Cancer Society of Malaysia, Penang Branch & Penang Hospice Society Prof John Ellershaw Prof Malcolm Fisher Prof Menyn Gott —_Dr Harmala Gupta, We are happy to announce that the keynote speaker will be Prof John Ellershaw from Liverpool, well known for his “Liverpool Care Pathway”.

We look forward to the participation of health professionals in Malaysia and volunteers in the hospice movement. Apart from learning, sharing and fellowship as carers this conference also offers the opportunity for us in the couniry to share their experince of hospice by oral or poster presentations. For those interested the closing date for abstracts is 14 Jan 2011 For the hospice movement in Malaysia, now in ils 18th year, this conference could also be the stimulus for hospice advocacy through out the country - targeting the public for awareness, the health professionals in the public and private sectors the importance of good medical practice and the government, both federal and state, to be more supportive to efforts in the community to reduce suffering of the sick.
