Annual Conference 2003 - Ann Arbor, MI

Welcome

Gaury Adhikary, MD

As coordinator of the seventh Annual conference of ANMF, I am very pleased to welcome each of you personally to this beautiful city of Ann Arbor, home of the Wolverines!

It is an emotional event for me, as a native of Nepal, I feel that you have shown a deep and sustained commitment to the betterment of Nepal and her citizens. You have traveled far and wide to be here, at this conference. Over the years you have provided your personal resources to make America Nepal Medical Foundation's activities move ahead. For all of your commitment I salute you once again. We are gathered here to explore the "realm of possibilities", possibilities to lend a helping hand to "support medical Progress in Nepal". To achieve our goal we have excellent arrays of speakers on various relevant topics followed by detailed account of ANMF activities. I am confident you will actively participate in the discussion and deliberation and provide your valuable opinion to make ANMF activities efficient and relevant in future.

At this time I would like to thank Novoste corporations, GA, Medtronic corporation, MN, and Cordis ( Johnson & Johnson co.), CA for sponsoring this meeting generously. Besides I would like to thank each of the delegates to this meeting, Sanjaya Khanal, Fred and Julia Shepardson for their untiring effort, and my wife, Anita for hosting a welcome dinner at our place last night.

Once again I whole heartedly welcome each participant to the seventh Annual conference of ANMF.

Thank you,

Gaury S Adhikary
