Health (IAGMH) - GERON 2010 - on “Healthy Ageing: From Concept to
Reality”- taking away the focus from disorders, and moving towards
promotive health.
About the Conference
From Mumbadevi to Bombay to Mumbai…Mumbai has come a full circle. The city that never sleeps is a city that has grown by leaps and bounds. The first thing that strikes you about “Aamchi Mumbai”- as the locals fondly call it-is the vibrancy, the energy, the pace of the people here. But Mumbai has seen her share of experiences, has survived calamities both natural and man-made; has many stories for its future generations to discover, and all this hidden beneath the smile that has been present through it all.
The human being through his/her journey of life, lives through its vicissitudes - the innocence of childhood lost to the travails of adulthood and finally old age. But is old age only about loss?? Like Mumbai, the elder too change externally, and gain experience internally. Throughout the metamorphosis, if the inner spirit is retained, the resolve only strengthens; with many tales to tell their future generations.
And the result is for you to see - an old city that has adapted to modern changes and emerged as a leading city in the world today, vis-à-vis the healthy elder individual- changed with the forces of time, yet beautifully adapted to the modern world.
And it is with this spirit that the city of Mumbai brings to you the 6th Annual Conference of the Indian Association for Geriatric Mental Health (IAGMH) - GERON 2010 - on “Healthy Ageing: From Concept to Reality”- taking away the focus from disorders, and moving towards promotive health.
It is our humble privilege and esteemed pleasure in welcoming you to two days of intellectual extravaganza, interactions with both National and International faculty, exposure to budding young researchers, and of course time to let your hair down, shop and relax a bit.
So mark your calendars and we’ll see you with us on 4th and 5th of September, 2010,
in this great city - Mumbai.
