THE THEME OF THE CONFERENCE

GOMECON is all about venturing into newer untouched virgin grounds and is associated with a theme every year to draw attention to a subject of major importance to global health each year.

The theme for the conference has been chosen to be “Adolescent Health: The Forsaken Conflagration”. Extending our horizons into that phase of growing up which is seldom spoken about.

We being a part of the upcoming health system of society have to acknowledge that adolescence is that time of transition and inner emotional upheaval, a struggle between the upcoming physical maturity and a thrill seeking psychological irresponsibility, facing problems seldom talked about and mostly ignored.
Breaking the old school thoughts of the invincibility of this age, let’s bring new rays of wisdom and understanding to these areas which have been clouded in darkness.

So do join us at this confluence of the ignited minds.
