Dear Healthcare Professional,
We are pleased to present you with the programme for the 3rd Middle East Diabetes Conference, which is taking place from 26-27 January 2015 at the Dubai International Convention & Exhibition Centre.
This conference is part of the Arab Health Congress, the world’s largest multi-track medical congress. Furthermore, it is one of a handful of events in the region to offer Continuing Medical Education (CME) credits to attending medical professionals via its scientific exchange.
The conference programme is ideal for GPs and Family Physicians and will aim to provide updates in the guidelines, treatment and management of diabetes, as well as discuss the challenges and lifestyle choices facing patients. This conference is particularly relevant to the region due to the increasing rates of diabetes and obesity and, as such, will be the go-to event for all those interested in furthering their knowledge in the field of diabetes.
We are honoured to offer you this important CME-accredited scientific meeting and we look forward to welcoming you to this major educational event.
Best regards,
Dr Mario Skugor Activity Director3rd Middle East Diabetes Conference
