The World Congress of Nephrology (WCN’22) 2022 is set to take place virtually and in-person at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, Malaysia, 24-27 February 2022. The virtual component will be supplemented by a face-to-face programme and on-demand content for Malaysian medical professionals to share knowledge with global specialists, scientific bodies and the wider healthcare community, including nurses, paramedics and nutritionists. More than 3,000 delegates have registered to attend the congress. Malaysia is also well represented in the programme with 100 out of 1,000 abstract submissions coming from local medical professionals and organisations. Hosted by International Society of Nephrology (ISN), together with the Malaysian Society of Nephrology (MSN) and Asian Pacific Society of Nephrology (APSN), WCN’22 has been developed based on the current needs and demands of the nephrology world. Professor Dr Abdul Halim Abdul Gafor, president of the Malaysian Society of Nephrology, said: “We have exciting content this year including sessions on green nephrology and gamified-symposiums to entice greater participation from younger professionals.” Alan Pryor, the general manager of the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, said: “We want to assure delegates that they will enjoy a seamless live stream of the sessions, supported by our strong internet bandwidth and virtual broadcasting capabilities. For those attending the face-to-face activities at the Centre, you will be in a safe and controlled environment with strict compliance to the latest standard operating procedures.”
