On behalf of the International Society of Hypertension (ISH) Executive I would like to wish you a very Happy New Year! We hope to foster stronger links with your Society in 2010 and to this end remind you, if you are not already doing so, to take advantage of the benefits of your membership of the ISH International Forum as an Affiliated Society (please see a summary below).
There are 2 specific matters that we'd like to bring to your attention again - both relevant to the forthcoming ISH Scientific Meeting in Vancouver.
The first is meeting publicity. We have been delighted that many of our Affiliated Societies have been encouraging their members to submit abstracts and attend the conference and have mounted links to information regarding the Vancouver meeting on their websites. For those you who have not yet done so, we should certainly value your help here in promoting the 2010 Biennial Meeting on your Society's website or in any print material that you may distribute to your members.
23rd Scientific Meeting of the International Society of Hypertension, Vancouver, Canada
26th to 30th September 2010

The second is the Bridging the Gaps Meeting to be held in Vancouver. The Forum has a very major role in this important event that will address the barriers to the detection, prevention and treatment of high blood pressure around the world.
Following our request last year we have received generous responses from Canada, Congo, Egypt, Georgia, Lithuania and Russia. We should very much like to ensure that we can select from as broad and diverse a set of Case Studies as possible and so we'd encourage those of you have not already responded to do so if at all possible. For example, more case studies from Africa, Asia and South America would be most welcome. Remember that these should illustrate the barriers and how they might be overcome, particularly where resources are difficult to supply or deploy.
Each Case Study can be described on one or 2 pages and photographs are also welcome where they illustrate the issues. For this purpose, we have been able to extend the deadline for receipt of Case studies until Monday 22 February, by which time they should be sent to the ISH Secretariat c/o the address below.

Thank you for your assistance and your enthusiasm for the mutual support achieved through the Forum of the ISH.
With kind regards,
Professor Stephen Harrap
