ASMIC 2015

General Information

Another pertinent issue in intensive care is the care of the dying and our need to improve the quality of dying for the patient. Communication with the family during these times can be difficult and uncomfortable for doctors. The end-of-life care workshop that has been conducted since 2009 by the Malaysian Society of Intensive Care, will be held during the pre-congress this year.

Apart from improving our knowledge, the meeting will be a great place to meet fellow colleagues and old friends, as well as forge new partnerships. Besides this, there will be an extensive scientific exhibition by the biomedical industry with the latest medical equipment, pharmaceutical products and books related to the field of intensive care.
