The 15th Annual Congress of the Lebanese Pediatric Societies

Bridging the GapApril 27 - 28, 2018 | Hilton Habtoor Grand Hotel, Beirut - Lebanon



Dear Colleagues and Friends,

We are honored to announce “The 15th Annual Congress of the Lebanese Pediatric Societies” and the Intercontinental Pediatric Summit in collaboration with WHO, which are scheduled on April 27-28, 2018 in Beirut, Lebanon. Building on the success of the preceding meetings, the congress will feature a highly interactive and multidisciplinary program including initiatives to address the entire patient-physician pathway and to look beyond the scientific topics alone.

The world is becoming increasingly vulnerable to pediatric health challenges and risks for various pediatrics diseases and the conference provides a unique opportunity for academic leaders, pediatricians and, physicians as well as for experts to share novel ideas on crucial issues and trends in the area of pediatrics. From prevention through optimal care and, finally, to targeted treatment modes and rehabilitation the whole range of pediatrics disease will be presented.

The conference has been designed to provide an overview of the latest research developments in the field of pediatrics. The major goal will be to disseminate the recent and advanced knowledge in the area of pediatrics and pediatrics diseases. The congress will provide enough space for discussion, meetings and workshops in order to allow a close contact between speakers and visitors. Many distinguished pediatricians, physicians and scientists will take part in this congress. The conference will provide the ideal forum to stimulate ideas and establish collaborations.

We do hope that you will enjoy the conference and that your interaction with your colleagues will stimulate a creative exchange of ideas and will be personally rewarding. We also hope and trust that you will enjoy your visit to the exciting cities of Lebanon.

Sincerely,

Presidents Letter
