GI Endoscopy Conference ^NEW

GI endoscopy as we know it is on the cusp of change, with new research constantly overturning what were once established practices and guidelines. To get to the bottom of all the new and most important insights, the brand-new GI Endoscopy conference at Arab Health will host 14 expert debates on the most controversial and trending issues in GI endoscopy, with audience interaction.

This dynamic format aims to provide physicians the opportunity to understand the most appropriate application of GI endoscopy procedures; especially in areas where evidence-based research is lacking. What’s more, the programme comes fully packed with hands-on-training on endoscopy procedures to apply learnings from the debates.
