About
Following the tradition of successful conferences in 2016 and 2021, the 3rd International High Altitude Medicine and Research Symposium will take place from September 21st to 25th, 2024, in Naryn, Kyrgyz Republic. It addresses the rapidly evolving field of physiology and health problems when travelling and residing at high altitude, highlighting new advances made in the past years.
In collaboration with the Annual Kyrgyz Thoracic Society Meeting, there will be a continuous medical education seminar, focusing on medical problems of highlanders permanently living at high altitudes. A networking event will promote collaborations and encourage scientific exchange between participants. In addition to the academic program, there will be art exhibitions displaying local and Swiss artists as well as the possibility to visit the local Health Center.
Among the presenting young scientists, the winner of the international award named after Academician M.M Mirrakhimov will be elected. In addition, the best speaker of the symposium will be presented an award from the organizing committee.
