7th Asia Pasific Meeting

Praise to Allah.

A journey to Kuantan on last few days was really meaningful.Attending international course - 7th Asia Pasific on Diabetic Limb Problem Meeting at UIA auditorium has brought in confidence to myself.

Me, myself the only doctor accompanied by one sister and two nurses were the representatives of wound team of HRPZII.The last minute plan ended up with a journey by bus.Never mind..as long as we reached there safely,it was good .Being in the new place, was quite challenging.It was hard to find proper comfortable room to stay in.Most of the rooms were already booked..preserved.We didn't expect that actually.Alhamdulillah, at last we got one.Shahzan Inn.RM 140 per night worth it enough.

Many speakers were invited.All of them were really expert in dealing with diabetic foot.We have those from Hong Kong, Australia, India, Singapore and Indonesia professors delivering a very fantastic presentation.The utmost attractive part was the workshop where we could learn directly from real life and situation, how to handle each patient with problematic diabetic limb including assessment of wound and the best choice of dressing need to be offered.

And now HONEY is officially approved internationally as one of the best material that can be used to manage diabetic foot.What Allah says, definitely TRUE !
