After a lapse of over ten years, I am pleased to inviteall delegates back to Penang for the MTS AnnualCongress 2016. This year is extra special since the MTSwill be celebrating its 30th Anniversary.

Pulmonology is advancing rapidly; we are still facingdiseases of old that have returned with a vengeanceand at the same time we are encountering newemerging diseases. We have at our disposal variousnew modalities for diagnostics and treatment and areventuring and expanding into new areas while eagerlyawaiting new developments.

With all this in mind, we have put together aprogramme encompassing various interesting topics.Starting with a workshop session on PulmonaryRehabilitation and Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing,we will proceed to having symposia in both Adult andPaediatric Pulmonology. Do come and learn as ourexpert speakers delve into subjects that are common(COPD, Tuberculosis, Asthma, Sleep Medicine) to theuncommon (Ethics in Pulmonary Medicine, Driving,Flying and Diving with Respiratory Disease). TheCongress will end with a mesmerising debate. You willhave an opportunity to be entertained during our GalaDinner and a surprise tantalising feast with the kingof fruits.

So see you in Penang, the Pearl of the Orient. Wewelcome all of you for a Congress where we hope youwill gain not only knowledge and skills, but also buildup networks for future collaboration, meet up with oldcolleagues and make new friends, gain new insightsand formulate new ideas all for the betterment of ourservice to our patients. There is no better place to doall this than in Penang during MTS 2016.
