CALENDAR OF ACTIVITIES 2003.
1.Fund Raising Activities:
·
Lottery.

In
order to realise its activities ABA will require funds. These two activities
have been selected to generate part of the fund required.
2. Short course by
University of Wesminster:
ABA
is still negotiating to realise this activity. A lecturer from the University of
Westminster is being invited to give a lecture on a Biomedical theme. The topic
chosen this year is Medical Mycology. Participation Fee will be around Rs 3500
if 30 participants are registered. The short course will be IVTB approved and a
certificate from the University of Westminster.
3.Magazine:
Due
to lack of fund ABA has not been able to publish the ABA journal as usual.
This
year we will again try our best to produce this item, which is an excellent
means of communication between members of the Health Sector.
4.International Conference:
The
last conference organised by ABA was in 2001 where delegates from various local
and foreign institutions participated. This year ABA wishes to organise its
international conference on Biomedical Sciences and the topic chosen this year
is Reorganisation of the laboratory services in Mauritius in order to face the
increasing
Challenges
of Diabetes, Cancer and AIDS. We will be calling for papers and posters very shortly.
