IIR Exhibitions in association with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Ministry of Health's Radiology Department is to stage The Middle East Imaging & Diagnostic Conference for radiologists in Dubai, in January, to coincide with Arab Health 2003, the region's hospital, medical equipment and services exhibition and conference.
Hamad Kazim, the ministry's director of federal radiology, said the move fulfills a long felt need for an annual radiology conference in the UAE. "We are hoping this conference acts as a regional primer," said Kazim. "Radiology methods and technology are evolving very rapidly. Holding the radiology conference as part of Arab Health will ensure health service professionals can tap into the latest developments. This will help ensure the best medical care is available.“
"Leading radiology staff, as well as clinicians and surgeons who are directly involved in imaging diagnosis will attend the conference which will be addressed by experts in breast, cardiac and coronary imaging, interventional radiology, digital radiography and PACS," said Kazim.
The Ministry, which officially supports Arab Health, is also planning to stage a series of workshops and lectures on various imaging aspects alongside the show, which will be held at the Dubai International Exhibition Center from January 26-29.
Arab Health 2003 will incorporate three specialist arenas: Pharmacy, the region's only event dedicated to pharmacists, general practitioners and hospital medical staff; Arab Dentistry and Medlab, for laboratory and biotechnology products. — (menareport.com)
