With support from colleagues worldwide and the success of past meetings the Congress has become an established event in Endocrinology in East Asia. We are proud to announce that the 7th IHCE will be held on November 30 - December 2 2012 in Hong Kong hosted by the Hong Kong Society of Endocrinology metabolism and Reproduction (HKSEMR).
      With a steep increase in prence of diabetes obesity metabolic and endocrine disorders in Asia the Congress aims to encourage active discussion on these important issues among predominantly ethnic Chinese Endocrinologists. The Congress will encourage exchange of ideas and practical experience for better understanding and management of these diseases.
