We feel honoured to welcome the participants of this conference. It is a matter of immense pleasure that eminent medical professionals will be assembled here from all over Pakistan and 23 countries of the world to work shoulder to shoulder to find out ways and means for treatment and control of the growing menace of headache and back pain. It is hoped that the conference will assess its role and responsibilities for primary and tertiary headache and back pain care.

Some of our foreign guests are coming to this country for the first time. All of you are most cordially welcome here in Karachi the place of unique universal history and capital of Sindh, the land of ancient Sindhbad the Sailor. Once again, Karachi Metropolitan City aspires to offer a fascinating blend of modernity and tradition.

According to the hospitality traditions, Karachi people welcome visitors to take full advantage of the innovative art, rich culture and the unique cuisine. As the conference Chairman & Co-ordinator, we apologize in advance for any shortcomings that you might experience over here.
In addition, specific social programs and congress tour will be offered to all delegates and their families who will take advantage of the numerous attractions of Karachi / Sindh culture and heritage as well as the delicious dishes. We deeply hope that this conference will bring you a wonderful memory back home.

Security and safety, particularly of our overseas guests, is among the top priorities. The venue of the conference has been selected to ensure maximum security, especially in view of the fact that our overseas colleagues have to face strict restrictions from the security agencies of their countries for travelling to Pakistan.
