Dear Potential Participants/Partners,

It is our pleasure to invite you to participate in the Urological Association of Asia Congress (UAA) 2019, to be held in
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, from 7th-10th August 2019.

UAA Congress 2019 will provide an excellent meeting-place, where leading experts will gather to update, brainstorm, share

the medical profession in the region and top representatives from the various related industry sectors, the UAA Congress

most innovative knowledge and technology from Asia and the rest of the world.

We look forward to hosting all delegates in 2019 at the award-winning and world-class venue of the Kuala Lumpur

Theme:
RATIONALE:
Unifying Asia thru Urology
The dictum “Unity is Strength” holds true in 2019’s theme for the UAA Congress. Asian Urologists, through sharing and
discussion of their knowledge, skills, and experiences can be conduits of positive change – especially relevant in
today’s economic and political clime. The 21st Century, with its novel challenges and fast-evolving technology is also
an age of collaboration – a time when people of different skills and mindsets can work together to accomplish more
than they can, on their own.

This calls for urologists from throughout the Asia region to collaborate and synergise in sharing know-how, to meet
the desired outcomes. Strength comes from unity, and the solidarity and cooperation of a united Urology in Asia will
empower it with a vast potential to take on a leadership role in the advance of Urology globally.
