was held at the National Olympic Memorial Youth Center on November 14-16th, 2008 The 6th AOA Conference was held at Tokyo,The International Exchange Building in the National Olympic Memorial Youth Center, on Nov. 14-16th, 2008. Asian ostomates assembled for the first time in Japan in beautiful autumn of November 2008. The Conference had record number of participants, 72 from overseas and 330 domestic, and 13 associations out of 16 AOA members were represented. They were China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Mongolia, Nepal, Philippines, Thailand, Taiwan and Vietnam. There were two participants from outside the Asian region, Moscow and New Zealand. AOA and host Association JOA welcomed IOA President Harikesh, Vice-President Barry and Past President Di to the Conference. Beside the number of attendees, notable were that a Youth Forum and a Symposium to discuss how to achieve better Quality of Life (QOL) of Asian ostomates were organized, and AOA Conference Declaration was adopted for the first time in the AOA history. Young Asian friends exchanged their experience, discussed their particular problems and determined to develop an Asian network for information exchange and mutual help at the Forum. At the Symposium of the final day, all the delegations presented their country reports and four panelists and two commentators exchanged their views and ideas on four topics to improve QOL of Asian ostomates. The Tokyo Declaration that had been adopted at the HOD meeting in previous day was read out by two young ladies in Japanese and English, and all the participants endorsed it. The Declaration clearly shows AOA’s determination that Asian ostomates will unite to help our friends in less developed countries, to improve medical, technical, governmental and social support and services, for all the ostomates so they can lead happy lives to the full. |
