活动简介

It is a great pleasure for us to invite you to IFSO APC 2019 which will be held in March 2019, in Guangzhou. It will be our honor and privilege to welcome members from all over the world to attend this very special scientific event. The disease of obesity has been growing tremendously and we need to educate and interact with the medical fraternity about the scientific ways to treat it. The IFSO APC will offer an international view on the state-of-the-art treatments for obesity and diabetes, addressing all the advancements and challenges in this field. The scientific program will include Oral, Poster and Video presentations, Live Surgery, Symposia and hot topic debates. We look forward to meeting you in Guangzhou to combine the highest level of science with the typical Chinese lifestyle.
