SINGAPORE – This week, the Republic will be hosting the largest medical convention ever held here, an event the Singapore Tourism Board expects will bring in $28 million in tourism receipts.

The congress was first held in Paris in 1889, and this is only the third time it is heading to Asia, with Tokyo playing host in 1982 and Seoul in 2011. There will be a late breaking abstract on a new treatment for a very common form of autoimmune hair loss, called alopecia areata. Studies indicate this problem affects 2 per cent of people at some point. Although it can occur at any age, the onset is most frequently seen in folk in their 20s and 30s.

Among them is a biologic product from Singapore-based Aslan Pharmaceuticals. Early stage clinical trials of 300 patients from Europe, the US and Asia – including patients here from the National Skin Centre and KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital – appear positive. While the latest in medical and scientific advances will feature prominently during the sessions, 95 exhibitors will cover over-the-counter cosmetic care. Several major manufacturers such as L’Oreal and Eucerin will be sharing their latest skincare trends and products.
