The 15th AFCMA Congress 2012 | Challenges of Catholic Doctors in the Changing World

Invitation From The Chairman of

The Organizing Committee
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

On behalf of the committee, it is my pleasure to announce that the 15th
AFCMA Congress will be held on 18 21 October 2012, in Sanur Paradise Plaza Hotel in
Bali, Indonesia. As you perhaps know, Indonesia was appointed as the host for the next
AFCMA Congress. I do hope that all of you, Board and Members of AFCMA will make a
note in your calendar for this important date, so that you can schedule your presence
at the congress from now on. I would also urge Board and Members in other regions
within FIAMC to come and attend the Congress.

The Organizing Committee has chosen Bali as the location of this congress, to
attract more participants. Most of you would have heard of Bali as one of the favorite
tourist destinations in the world. We assure you that aside from the interesting topics
that will be discussed in the congress, there will also be opportunity for you to see the
beauty of the Paradise Island of Bali.

Please go through the following pages in this announcement, especially the
Congress Programme. There are still some vacancies for congress speakers that you
may be able to fill. The topic can be related to the main theme, subtheme or as free
papers. Please let me know if you are interested to be one of the speakers.

With this announcement I would like to welcome you to the 15th AFCMA
Congress in Bali, and encourage you to register early.
With my warmest regards,
In Christ,
Albert Hendarta, MD, MPH.
Chairman
15th AFCMA Congress Organizing Committee

Welcome Message From The

President of AFCMA
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

It is my honour and privilege to welcome you to the 15th Congress of the
Asian Federation of Catholic Medical Associations.

In November 2010 the International Catholic Medical Community (ICMC) Bali
Branch was officially formed in Bali. Some members of AFCMA Executive Committee
were fortunate to be able to witness this auspicious occasion and to offer advice to the
Organizing Committee of the 15th AFCMA Congress which will be held here. We note
that both ICMC and Perdhaki are co-oorganizing this important event. We are truly
impressed by the enthusiasm and commitment shown by the Organizing Committee
led by Dr. Albert Hendarta to ensure that all of you coming to this beautiful island of
Bali with its tropical forests, sandy beaches, coral reefs and fantastic shopping outlets
will want to extend your stay here after the Congress.

The Theme chosen for the Congress is The Challenges of Catholic Doctors
in the Changing World. As practicing Catholics we are told to uphold our Churchs
Teachings in the face of challenges from modern technology which has its good and
bad points. We are faced with the challenges of trying to protect human life from the
beginning to the end of human life. We must also uphold our Biomedical Ethics as
Catholic Doctors e.g. we support the adult stem cell research and the usage of adult
stem cells to as treatment to replace damaged or diseased tissues. We do not support
embryonic stem cell research where embryos are harvested are then destroyed for
the sake of medical research. There is a great future for producing induced Pluripotent
Stem Cells from adult stem cells but the technique has not been perfected yet. iPS have
the ability to change into any adult cell in the body and there is no ethical issue involve
here. All these and other important and interesting issues confronting the Catholic
Doctor will be discussed in detail here at the 15th AFCMA Congress.

We sincerely hope that we will all be enlightened and empowered by the Holy
Spirit after this Congress and will be able to respond and defend our Churchs Teachings
whenever such challenges arise in our daily life.

Finally we must thank the Organizers: ICMC and Perdhaki for the splendid
effort they have made for co- hosting this 15th AFCMA Congress and making our stay
in Bali a truly memorable one.
In Jesus Christ,
Dr. Freddie Loh
President
AFCMA (Asian Federation of Catholic Medical Associations)

Welcome Message From The

President of ICMC
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Praise The Lord that ICMC has been appointed as the host of the 15th AFCMA
Congress. On behalf of ICMC, I would like to thank the Executive Committee of AFCMA
for appointing ICMC and also Perdhaki to co-host the Congress. My gratitude goes to
the Organizing Committee (including ICMC Bali as local committee) who have put their
utmost and splendid effort to make the Congress a big success.

Bali, a beautiful island, was chosen as the location of the Congress, so that
the participants, besides attending the interesting sessions, would be able to enjoy the
beauty of the paradise island. We are truly delighted to invite all of you to attend the
15th Congress of AFCMA , that will be held on 18 21 October 2012, in Sanur Paradise
Plaza Hotel in Bali, Indonesia.

Brothers and Sisters, through this opportunity we would like to encourage
all of you to actively participate in the congress. The Theme of the Congress, The
Challenges of Catholic Doctors in the Changing World was chosen to anticipate the
advances of modern technology in medical sciences for the Catholic doctors according
to the Catholic Churchs Teaching.

It is our great honor to welcome all of you to come to Bali for the Congress and
holiday.
Our warmest regards,
In Christ,
Ignatius Harjadi Widjaja, MD, DEd,
President
