CONVENTION FOR MEDICAL / HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS:

The Armenian Healthcare Association of the Bay Area will present the
9th Armenian Medical World Congress, to be held at the Fairmont Hotel
in San Francisco from Wednesday, June 29 through Saturday July 2,
2005. The Congress will feature new developments in diabetes, heart
disease, mental health and other specialties as well as cover ongoing
healthcare projects in Armenia.

According to Dr Jerry Manoukian, Congress Chairman, approximately
400-500 participants are expected from the US, Canada, Europe, Armenia
and South America. Keynote speakers will include the Ministers of
Health of Armenia and the Republic of Karabagh.

This convention of Armenian physicians, dentists, nurses, pharmacists
and other healthcare personnel will follow the 8th Congress, held
in 2001 in Toronto, and the 1st International Medical Congress of
Armenia, held in 2003. These meetings have been coordinated through
the efforts of the Armenian Medical International Committee (AMIC),
and have been held in North America, Europe, and Lebanon.
