Chairman's Remark
On the behalf of Nigeria Orthopaedic Association Zone 3, I wish to welcome with profound pleasure, our members, guests, exhibitors, faculties, accompanying persons, and every one to this year Annual General Meeting and Scientific Conference of the Nigeria Orthopaedic Association. The 47th Annual General Meeting and Scientific Conference, Coal City 2024 is being hosted by Zone 3 while Enugu, the coal city is the host city.
This year’s conference promises to be memorable, impactful and ground breaking. We will be exploring latest advancements and innovations in the field of orthopaedic surgery and trauma alongside their subspecialties. Our programme features a stellar lineup of workshops, seminars, keynote speakers, oral presentations, poster presentations, and workshops all designed to foster collaboration, spark new ideas, and advance our understanding of the complex challenges we face in our daily practice both on individual and collective bases.
The theme of the conference; The Burden of Orthopaedic Trauma was crafted to reflect the importance of trauma and its management in our contemporary practice. The sub-themes; The Current Management of Paediatric Orthopaedic Trauma, The Orthopaedic Surgeon and Ergonomics, Business Seminar on Beyond Medical Practice were all chosen to meet and fulfill the yearnings and aspirations of orthopaedic surgeons, doctors, and our visitors.
Enugu an ancient city, the former capital of the old eastern region, has rich cultural and tourist heritage. The Onyeama mines, Milikin Hills, Udi Hills, Iva valley, Nike Lake, Coal camp essentially add colour and beauty to the serene, safe, and secure profile of the city.
I most gladly welcome our colleagues, exhibitors, speakers, visitors, and all to the 47th Annual General Meeting and Scientific Conference of Nigeria Orthopaedic Association, Coal City 2024.
Dejenuooo!
