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 “
Tropical diseases and vectors: management and control” under
the chairmanship of Dr Indra Vythilingam. His Royal Highness the
Regent of Perak Raja Dr Nazrin Shah officiated the Congress
which was attended by 380 delegates from 28 countries. A total
of 156 oral and 54 posters were presented during the 3
days congress.
This is a brief account of the origin and activities of the Society.
