Message from the PENSMA President & Organising Chairman of PENSMA Congress 2012

Dear Nutrition Enthusiasts

I would like to invite all of you to be part of the nation's leading multi-disciplinary conference on Clinical Nutrition in 2012. With the growing interest in this exciting field of medicine, we believe that the biennial PENSMA Congress is the main platform for experts in the field of nutrition in Malaysia.

In 2012, our 4th Congress promises to deliver the latest research and updates in the field of Clinical Nutrition. Bring your enthusiasm and we will provide you with sufficient "nutrition" to help you manage your patients on a day-to-day basis.

I look forward to seeing all of you in Penang in 2012.

Prof Dr Sanjiv Mahadeva
