The 5th Annual General Scientific Meeting (AGSM) of the Diabetes Endocrine and Metabolic Society of Ghana (DEMSoG) is a significant event that brings together healthcare practitioners and experts to delve into the multifaceted realm of diabetes mellitus complications. This event consists of two distinct parts: the Annual General Meeting (AGM) and the Scientific Meeting.
The AGM is the formal component of the event, encompassing essential administrative tasks. It commences with a warm welcome address, followed by the meticulous reading of minutes from the previous AGM. Additionally, the AGM includes the presentation of annual and financial statements, a pivotal aspect for transparency and accountability. A crucial part of this segment is the election of executives who will serve a two-year term, an integral process for the society's leadership.
The Scientific Meeting, on the other hand, is the core of the event. It features presentations by three distinguished experts, with each speaker allotted approximately 30 minutes to delve deep into their respective areas of expertise regarding diabetes mellitus complications. These presentations promise to be informative, insightful, and a valuable source of knowledge. Interspersed within these expert sessions, we have short presentations by sponsoring pharmaceutical companies, each lasting 15 minutes. These brief interludes offer an opportunity for the industry to showcase its contributions to the field.
