The organizing committee under the leadership of Prof.Shrikant Srivastava and his team in the King George Medical University, Lucknow has prepared an excellent academic program with the theme āMultispecialty care for older peopleā . This theme will address the complexities involved in the care of older adults with mental health problems having multiple comorbidities.

We look forward to the active participation of multidisciplinary professionals related to the geriatric mental health in the scientific deliberations, enjoy the excellent hospitality and foster more collaborations and networking among the professionals in this field. The city of Lucknow is rich in its history, famous for its hospitality and cuisine. And we are sure alongside the science, a glimpse into the culture too will keep you yearning for more.
