WELCOME MESSAGE FROM IFTM PRESIDENT

Professor Malcolm Jones

Professor Malcolm Jones

President, International Federation for Tropical Medicine (IFTM)

On behalf of the Board of the International Federation for Tropical Medicine, I am delighted to invite you to attend the International Congress for Tropical Medicine and Malaria (ICTMM) in Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia in 2024.

ICTMM2024 follows the highly successful congress held in Bangkok in 2022 and will be the next in a long series of congresses dating back to 1913. The great attraction of the ICTMMs is that each congress is hosted in a different country so that the ICTMMs are truly international in focus and venue. We are greatly looking forward to meeting on the island of Borneo and joining with our Malaysian hosts in 2024…….
