It gives me great pleasure to announce that the 6th Asian Congress of Pediatric Infectious Diseases (ACPID) will be held in Colombo, Sri Lanka, from 28 November to 1 December, 2012.
The organizing committee of the Sri Lanka College of Paediatricians has planned an excellent scientific programme that covers important aspects of paediatric infectious diseases. In addition to the 3-day congress, pre- congress workshops on important topics will also be conducted. It is envisaged that the dissemination of new knowledge from experts in the field will help safeguard our children by a rational approach to the prevention and management of paediatric infectious diseases.
In addition to the Scientific Programme, exciting and memorable social events are being planned. I wish to invite each and every one of you to participate in this Congress and experience the warm hospitality and the rich cultural heritage of Sri Lanka.
I look forward to welcoming you to beautiful Sri Lanka for the 6th ACPID in November 2012.
Sincerely,

Professor Asvini D. Fernando
President, Sri Lanka College of Paediatricians
Chairperson Organizing Committee, 6th Asian Congress of Pediatric Infectious Diseases (ACPID)
