6TH MULU RAFFLESIA HEART VALVE SYMPOSIUM
Kathmandu Nepal 6th~9th October 2010
in Consultation with The International Heart Institute of Montana


The Mulu Rafflesia Heart Valve Symposium which was conceived some 12 years ago by a group of Asian surgeons concerned about how heart valve problem in Asia should be managed, is into its 6th happening.
This 6th Symposium will be held near the ancient city of Kathmandu, Nepal. The theme "A Peek into The Future", will allow us to take a look at where we have been, to help us chart our way forward.
The format of the occasion will be as in the past viz
Industry Updates
Scientific Updates
How-I-Do-It Sessions
Video Clips
Hands-on Wet-Lab sessions
A day with the environment
The dates 6th to 9th have been chosen because these are supposed to be great weather-wise but with global warming upon us, who knows! So come prepared for a good time of learning and camaraderie, whatever the weather.
Anyone and everyone interested in the management of patients with heart valve disease in Asia is welcome to actively take part.
Please email us if you intend to participate and we will keep you updated as we make progress.
