Members and friends:
Greetings from headquarters! Our three-day NATMA Annual Meeting is fast approaching. It will be held at the Marriott Hotel, Newark Liberty International Airport, on September 5th to 7th 2008. I personally invite you and your family to join this important event.
Haiti medical mission was a knock-out: “healing the sickness, one patient at a time.” We saw more than1, 300 patients and operated on 35. We met the foreign minister, several congressmen/women, and the mayor in efforts to tighten the relationship between Taiwan and Haiti. Haiti’s local TV and newspapers broadcasted a big report on it. The New Jersey Progress and Healthy Edge, the Florida Haiti Community newspaper, and ETTY 東森 National TV station all brought images of NATMA to the national and international level. Please join me in thanking Han T. Chiang, MD, Yihnan Chiou, MD, Thung F. Huang, DDS, Shei T. Huang, DDS, Tso Long Hsu, DDS, Huey J. Lee, MD, Fan-Ming Lin, MD, Yan-San Tsai, MD, Jen Chin Wang, MD, Michelange Ferdinand, MD.
Also a success: on March 21, 2008, NATMA and Taipei Medical University held a joint medical conference in Taipei led by Drs. Huey Lee, Tien C. Cheng and Jen-Tien Wung.
With regard to WHO, after serious discussion with Dr. Yu and others, we feel strongly that we can no longer support it under the current Taiwan government. However, I wrote an open letter to Dr. Margaret Chan, Director-General of WHO to urge her help and support of Taiwan’s bid to WHA.
The Annual Meeting promises to be exciting and rewarding! Dr. Jung-San Shen negotiated a great deal for a five-star hotel: $119.00 per night. The Marriott is ready to welcome you and your family. Drs. Michael Chen and Jen-Tien Wung are working very hard to organize a 8- CME program consists of the popular and update topic led by outstanding 2G speakers . Let’s enjoy the fruits of our labor. The newly elected DPP Chairperson, Ms. Tsai, 蔡英文 will be our key note speaker at banquet. FAPA president Prof. Yang, 楊英育 will be joining us as well. Mr.J Watt will talk about 庚子賠款. In addition, Dr. Robert Cheng is arranging the post meeting for 75 people only in a private brunch buffet cruise to circle Manhattan on Sunday, September 7, 2008. For those who join the cruise, NATMA will pay for your bus transportation to New York and back to the hotel at 3:30pm. I look forward to see you all.
The formal invitation, program and hotel registration will be in the mail!
Best Regards,
Jung Tsai, MD
