The First International Conference on Tropical Dermatology (ICTD)
11th to 14th August 2016, Colombo, Sri Lanka

With the aim of creating a forum for exchange of ideas and spread of knowledge on tropical dermatology among the dermatology fraternity and to create avenues towards improvement in patient care, Sri Lanka College of Dermatologists (SLCD) took the initiative in organizing an international conference on tropical dermatology which was held successfully in 2016.

The president of the International society of Dermatology, Dr. Evangeline Handog graced the occasion as the chief guest. The total number of delegates was 230 and there were forty-six renowned clinicians and scientists in the relevant fields from twelve countries sharing their knowledge and expertise as resource persons. They were from Australia, Brazil, Cambodia, Germany, India, Iran, The Philippines, Singapore, South Africa, Thailand, United Kingdom and Sri Lanka.

All the major tropical dermatology topics, emerging and reemerging infections, pigmentary disorders as well as sociocultural dermatoses were discussed. Leishmaniasis and leprosy were two areas which were covered in greater detail. The clinical meeting with patients having numerous typical and atypical tropical dermatoses was also outstanding.

Many old friendships between international delegates were renewed and many new friendships were established. The delegates also enjoyed delightful Sri Lankan foods and scenic beauty of the island. ICTD 2106 was a landmark event in Sri Lankan Dermatology which has set the precedence for the next Tropical Dermatology Conference, which will be held in 13th - 15th August 2020.
