Middle East Diabetes Conference
28 – 29 January 2013
Dear Healthcare Professional,
I am pleased to present you with the conference programme for the Middle East Diabetes Conference, which will take
place 28-29 January 2013 at the Dubai International Convention & Exhibition Centre.
Sponsored by Cleveland Clinic, this conference is part of the Arab Health Congress, the world’s largest multi-track medical
congress. Furthermore, it is one of the handful of events in the region to offer Continuing Medical Education (CME) to
attending medical professionals via its scientific exchange.
The Middle East Diabetes Conference will be a new addition to the Arab Health Congress in 2013. The programme is ideal for
General Practitioners 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 in light of 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.
The Conference Chairs, Dr. Mario Skugor, Dr. Maha Barakat, Dr. Nader Lessan and I are honoured to offer you this important
CME accredited scientific meeting and we look forward to welcoming you to this major educational event.
Regards,
Ayla Iqbal
