Dear MMLHS Members,
Happy new year from MMLHS! We wish this year brings you joy, happiness and good health.
On behalf of APSTH 2021 local organizing committee, it is our great honor and pleasure to inform you that 11th Congress of the Asian-Pacific Society on Thrombosis and Hemostasis (APST 2021) will be held from March 18 to 20, 2021 as an online congress. With health and safety of all participants being our topmost priority, the online congress would be the best solution for all of us. Indeed, the virtual meeting will allow all colleagues, who are unable to attend in person, to participate in real-time and get connected with a global audience.
Only three months away from APSTH 2021, the local organizing committee is in full gear for the preparations for 11th Congress of APSTH 2021. And we always thank you for your on-going positive support. As we move on to the next stage of preparation, for the success of the congress, we would like to ask for your kind assistance with the following:
REGISTRATION
ABSTRACT SUBMISSION
As the congress format has been changed from an offline meeting to an online meeting, the registration fee has been reduced from its original price to USD 40 and USD 50 for Delegates (Doctors) and Trainees respectively. Especially there will be no registration fees for students, so please encourage many colleagues and students to attend the congress to share and expand their knowledge in the field of thrombosis and hemostasis.
APSTH 2021 welcomes interesting and insightful abstracts from worldwide scholars! Three awards – Best Presentation Awards, Best Poster Awards, and APSTH Paper Awards – are prepared, and the scientific committee of APSTH 2021 will announce a total of 50 winners and provide monetary prizes. The deadline for abstract submission is January 31, 2021 and fast approaching. So, it would be greatly appreciated if you could forward this news to your colleagues and encourage them to submit abstracts. Their participation will no doubt benefit all attendees with inspirations and challenges.
