The 51st IAPSMCON-2024 Will be Organized by the Department of Community Medicine, Kasturba Medical College Mangalore
This is the first time Mangalore is hosting this prestigious conference.
Dean of Kasturba Medical College, Mangalore, Dr B Unnikrishnan shared the importance of the conference theme "Transformations for achieving SDGs: Innovate, Integrate, implement". Dr B Unnikrishnan mentioned that Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a set of 17 global goals established by the United Nations in 2015, with the aim of addressing various social, economic, and environmental challenges by the year 2030. However, the progress towards achieving these Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) has been uneven, and various challenges have contributed to the slow pace of advancement. The theme encapsulates a strategic approach to accelerate progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by emphasizing three key elements: innovation, integration, and implementation. This threefold approach emphasizes the need for continuous innovation, integration of sustainable practices into various aspects of society, and effective implementation of strategies to realize the SDGs. By adopting this transformative mindset, stakeholders can work collaboratively to overcome challenges, capitalize on opportunities, and make meaningful progress towards a more sustainable and equitable future by 2030. He also announced that this conference is organized to commemorate the 125th Birth Anniversary of Dr. T.M.A Pai.
