Your experiences about the travel processes(Providing ticket, accommodation,...) : |
All these was managed by myself and I paid for them myself. I think travel costs better be paid by the university in advance. Unfortunately university payment happens ages after the congress, and this is not good. Also accommodation was very expensive and the university dose not support for these costs. |

Please give a briefing of your own observations and outcomes of the congress: : |
It was a very well organized congress. All sessions particularly those with regard to cancer prevention& control, cancer screening, patient advocacy, palliative care were very useful given much relevancy to my expertise and work. Also, I presented my poster on 10th Sept and was available for Q&A during poster visit time. I plan to make efforts for the translation of the knowledge learnt from the congress into our health care system by implementing colon cancer screening. |
