It’s a proud for me to declare that I could participate in Xth Joint Conference of ISMOCD & IAE Goa. The main subject in the congress was about accurate diagnosis and regular reporting of occurrence about all diseases including Malaria and other vector born diseases (such as: Visceral Leishmaniasis, Dengue fever, fillarisis and etc.) to facilitate control measures and prevention of its further spread. Nowadays migration and travels has become larger and easier for every person in the world, so Iranian physician may be encountered with new cases of these unknown diseases. Then it is important for researchers and medical colleagues in Iran to have more and more knowledge about communicable diseases in worldwide especially in Asia. We are thankful to organizing team for their kind hospitality and well organized sessions and also for providing us pleasant memories of Goa. This event organized with assistance and collaborations of many organizations, participation of delegates from different parts of India and other part of the world and held in warm atmosphere and scenic beauty of Goa. We are highly thankful to organizing committee especially Dr. Ashwani Kumar, Organizing General Secretary for all his efforts, warm welcoming, and valedictory function.
