About Us - History

PART III

Many  have helped to establish the  Society on a firm footing but it
will  be too lengthy  to emulate them  all here. A special mention of
the  services rendered  by  professor  R. S. Desowitz  in  the   initial
stages  and   Dr Ming M Wong,  Dr. C.P. Ramachandran  and Dr. S.
Ramalingam   during  their period as Hon. Secretaries contributed
to the  Society’s  rapid advancement. The  Society also owes much
to    the    impetus   given   by   the   Secretary-General    of   CCBTM,
Professor   Chamlong   Harinasuta   in   widening   our   scope and
bringing   us   in   contact   with parasitologists of Southeast   Asian
Region.

For  the  30th year Anniversary, the Society hosted an International
Congress  of  Parasitology and  Tropical Medicine with the theme “
Trends  in  the  Management  and  Control  of   Tropical Diseases”.
Professor   B. Sinniah   was   the   Chairman   of    the   Organising
Committee.   Twenty   five   consultants   from    the   World   Health
Organisation     attended    the    congress.    In    addition,   several
prominent  researchers  and  Scientists from  different  parts of the
world  presented  papers or  chaired  scientific sessions. A total of
170 papers were presented at the 3 days Congress.   

The  Second  International   Congress  was  organized  under   the
Chairmanship  of  Prof. Dato’ Khairul Anuar in 2001.   The   theme”
New   Frontiers and   Challenges “   attracted  an  international and
local participation of 250  scientists  including 37 invited speakers.

For  the  40th Anniversary, The  Society  organized  the  1st  ASEAN
Congress  of Parasitology and  Tropical Medicine with the  theme “
