HEALTCARE IT EXPERTS IN KL FOR CONFERENCE

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 17 (Bernama) -- More than 1,000 healthcare IT experts
from around the world will converge in the city centre from Feb 24 to 27 for the
'HealthCare IT Conference and Exhibition (HIMSS AsiaPac) 2009'.

The four-day event organised by the Healthcare Information and Management
Systems Society (HIMSS) is an ideal platform for healthcare IT stakeholders to
connect, exchange ideas and get the latest updates on worldwide healthcare IT
trends.

"We chose to hold HIMSS AsiaPac09 in Malaysia because Kuala Lumpur is the
gateway for healthcare organisations and is easily accessible from many major
cities in the Asia Pacific region, which makes it the perfect location to host
next year's event," HIMSS Asia Pacific vice-president and executive director
Steven Yeo said in a statement, here Tuesday.

HIMSS AsiaPac08 was held in Hong Kong and the event had gathered over 1,500
healthcare and healthcare IT leaders across the region to share best practices.
