Foreword

Dear Colleagues and friends,

It gives me immense pleasure to announce the 5 th Biennial Conference of the MAHA Association of Plastic Surgeons (MAPSCON 2024) formerly Maharashtra State Chapter of Association of Plastic Surgeons of India to be held at Hyatt Regency, Pune on the 23 rd – 25 th February 2024.

In keeping with our theme of “Educate, Progress and Excel”, for the last 2 years as announced in the MAPSCON 2022 in Kolhapur, we had organized 5 public awareness programs namely in Solapur, Nanded, Akola, Nashik and Pune. These efforts involved active participation from all members of our Association across the State. I thank Dr.Ravin Thatte, my Guru, for being a constant source of inspiration and actively participating in all the programs.

We also celebrated World Plastic Surgery Day at B.J. Government Medical College, Pune on the 15 the of July 2023 with public exhibitions showcasing the spectrum of Plastic Surgery along with a Quiz for undergraduates and nurses.

These efforts over the past 2 years now culminate in the Biennial Conference MAPSCON 2024 organized at Pune, revisiting the Oxford of the East after a gap of 10 long years.

We promise to deliver a blend of High Quality Scientific Program under the Chairmanship of Dr.Nikhil Panse with special non-academic sessions on maintaining work-life balance and topics such as Relationship with Media and Law.

We have chosen an excellent venue at Pune for this meeting: The Hyatt Regency on Nagar Road and encourage everyone to consider enjoying our hospitality by opting for the Residential packages with specially negotiated rates.

Special Pre-Conference Workshops are also planned for the 23 rd of February along with Enthralling Day-Enders!

Please don’t miss this opportunity to meet old friends and make new ones as we have planned a Special One-time-only Membership Drive to secure Conference Registration at Member Rates if you opt to become a Life Member of MAPS before the 31 st of October 2023.

Looking forward to welcoming and serving you in Pune!

Yours sincerely,
