Overview

Chronic Respiratory and Sleep Diseases (CRSD) 23rd - 24th January 2012


The 2nd Chronic Respiratory and Sleep Diseases Conference will be looking at the latest information pertaining to pulmonary disorders and therapeutics that afflict the Middle East region. It is vital to have a conference in this field as over one billion people around the world suffer from chronic respiratory diseases worldwide. With greater coverage, will come stronger tactics in the diagnosis, management and treatment of such diseases.

The conference aims to cover the main topics associated with CRSD, such as Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension, Interstitial Lung Disease, Obstructive Lung Disease and an Overview on Sleep Disorders. With several experts in the field from the region, this conference aims to raise the recognition of Chronic Respiratory Diseases and share the best treatment and management practices.

At the next Arab Health Congress, the CRSD conference has been extended into a two-day program. This will allow for greater coverage of topics related to the field of chronic respiratory and sleep disorders. The second day was created in order to give a stronger emphasis to topics such as sleep disorders, chest radiology and pleural diseases. Delegates will come and be able to experience a well rounded program that features plenty of opportunities to discuss topics with the speakers.

Advisory Board:
