  Letter from the Convenor

 Print a Copy:
Dear Colleagues and Friends,

We have the privilege to invite you to the 12th National Congress of the South African Society for Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynaecology to be held at brand new Upper Eastside Hotel, Woodstock, Cape Town from the 1st to the 4th of September 2011.

An outstanding group of speakers has been invited to share the benefits of their years of study, research and experience with us. The scientific programme will therefore offer information on the latest and most significant developments in research and education.

The few days of the congress will hopefully not only enrich your scientific knowledge, but will afford you the opportunity to re-establish old acquaintances, and forge new friendships with others in our profession.

We look forward to seeing you in Cape Town.

Dr. Chantal Stewart
