Message at the workshop BIOPHILIA 2017 in Riga

Abstract

Good morning,Dear professor Takizawa, dear professor Ancane, dear guests from Japan, dear colleagues, ladies and gentlemen!

It's a great pleasure for me to be here in the opening ceremony of the international conference of Biophilia. It is wonderful to open the mind to new knowledge and experience.

I bring greetings and good wishes from Jurmala, from National rehabilitation center “Vaivari” and from all rehabilitation physicians of Latvia.

As a President of Latvian association of rehabilitation physicians, I would like to note the importance of the healthy aging concept in rehabilitation medicine.

The short version of the definition of Rehabilitation medicine: ”

The use of all means aimed at reducing the impact of disabling conditions to achieve optimal social integration and quality of life.”

And it means we have to work all together with different methods to achieve better results and better functioning and better quality of life.

I wish you interesting, fruitful day during Conference and nice time in our beautiful country.

I am sure that we can use together with our minds for the best solution in our everyday work with patients.With that, I wish you an excellent Conference ahead.

Thank you.
