MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN, ORGANIZING COMMITTEE, ICTD 2016 Dear Colleagues and Friends, On behalf of the Sri Lanka College of Dermatologists (SLCD) and the Organizing Committee of International Conference on Tropical Dermatology (ICTD) 2016, I am delighted to extend a warm welcome and invite you to join us in the International Conference on Tropical Dermatology 2016, to be held in Colombo, Sri Lanka. Tropical Dermatology encompasses a wide array of dermatological problems that are unique, more widespread, prove more difficult to treat and control, in tropical and subtropical regions. Millions are known to suffer from these diseases, some of which are classified as neglected tropical diseases. This conference expects to focus on current issues in diagnosis, management and prevention of all tropical skin diseases. Organizing Committee intends to bring global representation to a wide array of core issues relevant to tropical dermatology. The programme consists of plenary lectures, symposia, advances, guest lectures and posters. Our aim is to create a forum for exchange of ideas and spread of knowledge on tropical dermatology among the dermatology fraternity and to create avenues towards improvement in patient care. We extend a warm welcome yet again and invite you to experience Sri Lankan hospitality and friendliness which will be extended to all delegates and accompanying persons. The venue, The Kingsbury, a five star luxury hotel, conveniently located on the beach front and in the center of Colombo is within reach of other hotels in Colombo. This will be the perfect launching point for delegates to discover the fast developing city of Colombo, and Sri Lanka, the tiny island in the south Indian Ocean which is a land of contrasting landscapes, rainforest, diverse wildlife and endless sandy beaches. We look forward to welcome you at the International Conference on Tropical Dermatology in August 2016 Colombo, Sri Lanka. With warm regards, Dr. Janaka Akarawita Chairperson, Organizing Committee, ICTD 2016, President. Sri Lanka College of Dermatologists
