Dear Experts and Friends,

We are pleased to announce that the 14th APBC (Asia Pacific Burn Congress) will be held in Chongqing of China from September 13 to 16 of 2023. The APBC is the biennial congress of the APBA (Asia Pacific Burn Association). Hope the COVID-19 will have gone away completely at that time and we can meet together. Although COVID-19 pandemic was raging around the world, Professor Hajime Matsumura and his team organized a successful virtual meeting of 13th APBC in Tokyo of Japan last year. As the organizer and chairperson I take great pride in welcoming all our experts and friends from Asia Pacific and the World to join the 14th APBC in Chongqing.

The theme of 14th APBC is “Homage, Heritage, Innovation”, which means to show our respect to our pioneers on burn medicine in China, Asian Pacific Area and the world; to inherit and transmit the experience and knowledge on burns from our predecessors; to develop innovatively new theories, strategies and care technologies on burns.

APBA is one of the most important international academic organizations on burns under ISBI, which was founded by Professor Rajeev Ahuja and other pioneers. The 1st conference was held in 1993. We are honorable to sponsor the 14th APBC in Chongqing of China in 2023 at this most important moment. Hope the congress with your participation will start a new academic era for burns. We hope that COVID pandemic will finally end, and we will have the chance to meet face to face in Chongqing at that time.

China with more than 5000 years’ history and culture is the biggest developing country with over 1.4billion people. There are about 10 million new burn incidences every year, hence we have relative more and richer experience for the treatment of burns. The mortality of the hospitalized burn patients is less than 1.0% at present in the whole country. Hope our friends will have more understanding and knowing of us.

Chongqing is the Forth Municipality directly under the Central Government with more than 30 million population and longer than 3000 years’ history. The beautiful sceneries, delicious foods, hospitable people and attractive humanity are waiting for you in Chongqing! Hope all of you will have a most wonderful and deepest impression of APBC in Chongqing in 2023!

Looking forward to seeing you all in Chongqing!

Best wishes
