23 RD SAUDI NEUROLOGY SOCIETY MEETING<br />

Welcome Message<br />

Dear Colleagues:<br />

It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the 23 rd Saudi Neurology Society Meeting (SNS) to be held in Le<br />

Meridien Hotel, Madinah Al Munawwarah, Saudi Arabia on 3-5 March 2016. After the great success of the last<br />

meeting in Jeddah last January 2015, we hope that you will all enjoy the highly scientific learning and social<br />

activities. In order to show our commitment and appreciation to the new comers in Neurology, the theme for this<br />

year’s meeting is:<br />

“The Future of Neurology in the Hands of Young Saudi Neurologists”<br />

Neurologists and Scientists from different parts of Saudi Arabia and neighboring countries will meet to exchange<br />

knowledge and experience about practice, education and academic endeavors for a brighter future. A Session is<br />

devoted to our colleagues from different parts of the Arab World. A number of ongoing research results will also<br />

be presented. Since the official establishment of the SNS three years ago, the current Board worked very hard to<br />

make the society one of the most active societies in the Kingdom. It is also noteworthy that the election of the<br />

next Board will be held after the first day of the meeting.<br />

We chose Madinah as it where Islam flourished and from this city – the light of Islam spread in vast areas of the<br />

world. Everyone who visits this great city experience the unique feeling of spiritual calmness, physical relaxation<br />

and a feeling of peace and serenity.<br />

The weather in Madinah is most fitting, pleasant and very convenient for those who would like to visit the Haram<br />

in Madinah and Makkah Mukarramah. The venue was chosen to accommodate a huge number of attendees.<br />

We wish that you all benefit from the scientific program and enjoy the social and professional gatherings.<br />

We look forward to welcome you all in Madinah Al Munarawah.<br />

Saeed A. Bohlega, MD, FRCPC, FAAN<br />

President, Saudi Neurology Society<br />

Madinah General Information<br />

Medina (/məˈdiːnə/; Arabic: المنورة ‏,‏‎المدينة al-Madīnah al-Munawwarah, "the radiant city"; or ‏,المدينة al-Madīnah,<br />

"the city"), also transliterated as Madīnah, is a city in the Hejaz, and the capital of the Al Madinah Region of Saudi<br />

Arabia. The city contains al-Masjid an-Nabawi ("the Prophet's Mosque"), which is the burial place of the Islamic<br />

Prophet Muhammad, and is the second-holiest city in Islam after Mecca.<br />

Medina was Muhammad's destination after his Hijrah from Mecca, and became the capital of a rapidly increasing<br />

Muslim Empire, first under Muhammad's leadership, and then under the first four Rashidun caliphs, Abu Bakr,<br />

Umar, Uthman, and Ali. It served as the power base of Islam in its first century where the early Muslim community<br />

developed. Medina is home to the three oldest mosques, namely the Quba Mosque, al-Masjid an-Nabawi, and<br />

Masjid al-Qiblatayn ("the mosque of the two qiblas"). Muslims believe that the chronologically final surahs of the<br />

Quran were revealed to Muhammad in Medina, and are called Medinan surahs in contrast to the earlier Meccan<br />

surahs.<br />

Similar to Mecca, non-Muslims are forbidden from entering the sacred core of Medina (but not the entire city) or<br />

the city center by the national government.<br />
