INVITATION
Dear Colleagues,
Namaste and season’s greetings.
We, the Dept. of Dermatology and Venereology, are organizing the 1st National Dermatology
Symposium-2014. We have chosen ‘Eczemas’ as the topic for this symposium, as this is the
most common skin disease category in Nepal. Although common and simple looking, there
are significant challenges in the prevention and management.
This will be an occasion to meet and exchange our experiences. We have invited eminent
guest speakers to share their experiences with us and there will be a hands on work shop on
patch testing. It will be an opportunity to go in depth in ‘eczemas’ review and renew our
knowledge.
We cordially invite you to this symposium and thank you in advance for your participation.
