IFSO 2012XVII WORLD CONGRESS

Message from Congress President

Dear Colleagues,

It is my proud privilege and honour to invite you to the XVII World

Congress of International Federation for the Surgery of Obesity and

Metabolic Disorders (IFSO) to be held in New Delhi, India on th th11 – 15 September, 2012. The Congress is being supported by

IFSO-Asia Pacific Chapter (IFSO-APC), the Asia Pacific Metabolic and

Bariatric Surgery Society (APMBSS) and the Obesity and Metabolic

Surgery Society of India (OSSI) and organized by Max Institute of

Minimal Access, Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery, Max Super

Specialty Hospital, Saket, New Delhi, India.

A rapidly growing economy in the Asian subcontinent has led to growing affluence and major

life-style changes. With the dramatic rise in the incidence of Obesity, Type II Diabetes Mellitus

and Metabolic Syndrome, there is an urgent need to define the parameters for Metabolic and

Bariatric surgery in this population. Bariatric surgery is now recognized to be the standard

management option that provides significant and sustained weight loss in morbidly obese

patients. Rapid advances are being made in Metabolic surgery to treat the associated

co-morbidities like Type II Diabetes Mellitus that commonly co-exist with morbid obesity.

The IFSO 2012 World Congress is a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary forum where leading

national and international experts will conduct a critical review. The Congress shall provide

a platform to address and debate on the recent advances and challenges in the field of

Metabolic and Bariatric surgery.

India is the largest democratic country in the world. It is a land of magnificent monuments,

rich heritage, varied culture and ethereal beauty. Please take the opportunity to visit our

beautiful country and attend this scientific extravaganza.

I look forward to welcome you.

With warm regards,

New Delhi

his friend Sir Herbert Baker was formally inaugurated in 1931.

The Rajpath, formerly known as King's Way, runs from west to east with

the Rashtrapati Bhavan at one end. This was built as the Viceroy's

residence and today houses the President of India. Down Rajpath, in the

eastern end is India Gate, which commemorates some 90,000 Indian

soldiers who were killed in the First World War.

Further south lies the Qutub Minar complex - the highest stone tower in

India. This landmark of Delhi was built by Qutbuddin Aibak to celebrate Ghori's victory over the Rajputs.

The Humayun's Tomb, built in 1570, is of particular cultural significance as it was the first garden-tomb

on the Indian subcontinent. It inspired several major architectural innovations, culminating in the

construction of the Taj Mahal.

Old Delhi is famous for its distinctly medieval ambience: majestic

monuments, labyrinthine alleys and shopping. Standing on the

banks of the river Yamuna, the huge red sandstone Lal Qila or Red

Fort was built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan with the ambition of

concentrating the Mughal power in one monument. Facing the Red

Fort to its west is the colossal Jama Masjid, or Friday Mosque which

can accommodate up to 25,000 worshippers at one time.

Taj Mahal is one of the seven wonders

of the world . It was built in 1630 AD by

the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in

memory of his deceased wife, Mumtaz

Mahal to enshrine her mortal remains.

You will also visit the Agra Fort - the seat

and the stronghold of the Mughal

Empire under successive generations.

Taj Mahal is closed every Friday.

City tour of Agra

| 3 nights/4 days

India's capital and a major gateway to the country, contemporary Delhi

is a bustling metropolis, which successfully combines in its folds - the

ancient with the modern. Visit to Old Delhi will include visit to the

Jama Masjid and walk upto Chandni Chowk, the famous by lanes of

Old Delhi and drive past Red Fort. The tour also includes a drive past

with photo opportunity of the imposing India Gate, the Parliament

building and the Rastrapati Bhawan, the President's residence.

Taj Mahal is one of the seven wonders of the

world . It is a UNESCO world heritage site. It was

built in 1630 by the Mughal Emperor Shah

Jahan in memory of his deceased wife, Mumtaz

Mahal to enshrine her mortal remains.

The monument has been described as the

most extravagant ever built for love, for the

emperor was heart-broken when Mumtaz

died, to whom he had been married for 17 years. You will also visit Fatehpur Sikri which was built by

Emperor Akbar and served as the capital of Mughal India from 1571 to 1585 AD. The remarkably

preserved sprawling fortress houses many palaces, notable amongst them for their architecture is

Empress Jodha Bai's palace.

Jaipur is an enduring legacy to India's history. A land endowed with invincible forts, magnificent

palaces and waves of sand dunes and serene lakes. No

other region in the country assembles the many

paradoxes of India, as does the desert land of Rajasthan.

By far it is the most colourful region in India. The city of

victory, Jaipur presides over the fascinating desert state

and its people; surrounded by rugged hills, each

crowned by a formidable fort; and beautiful palaces,

mansions and gardens dotted throughout its precincts.

Visit to City Palace, Jal Mahal and elephant ride at

Amber Fort are the highlights of Jaipur tour.
