The first Annual Congress of the Japan Surgical Society was held on April 1, 1899, under the chairmanship of Professor Sankichi Sato. Because no Annual Congress was held for two years during war time, the commemorative Centennial Congress will be held in the year 2000, which marks the turning point of the century. This Congress will open on April 11 with the Centennial Ceremony of the Japan Surgical Society and a commemorative lecture will be given by Dr. Chiaki Mukai. We have invited guests from various fields to share in the celebration of this milestone with us and we hope this Congress will become the starting point of the new century. We know that you have very busy schedules, but we would happy if you were able to attend this Ceremony and look forward to seeing you at the Congress. |
