Annonce de la Société Camerounaise de Cardiologie
Cameroon Cardiac Society announcement
Call for abstracts
Dear colleagues and friends,
The 9th scientific congress of the Cameroon Cardiac Society
(CCS) will take place from 12–14 March 2014, at the Yaounde
Hilton Hotel. The organising committee invites you to come in
numbers and contribute to the traditional success of this meeting,
which registered about 450 specialists and general practitioners
from 16 African and European countries in 2012. Cameroon is
a bilingual country and the congress languages are both English
and French.
The main theme of the meeting is investigation of
cardiovascular diseases; however the diversity of secondary
themes brings together cardiologists, surgeons, paediatricians,
internists, epidemiologists, anaesthesiologists, nurses and
paramedical technicians. Your abstracts from these areas of
medical practice are welcome.
The updated scientific programme will be available on
our website
You can also write to us at
.
In addition to being the capital city of Cameroon, Yaounde is
a lovely city with cultural and tourist attractions. It has a slight
mountain relief and is therefore called ‘the town of seven hills’.
We look forward to a positive response and to welcoming you
in Yaounde,
Yours sincerely
Pr Samuel Kingué (
, president of the
scientific committee
Dr Yves Monkam-Mbouendé
), secretary
general
Dr Anastase Dzudié-Tamdja

secretary
