Al Ahli symposium discusses oesophageal disorders
Al Ahli Hospital started a two-day symposium on oesophageal disorders on Friday at Ezdan Palace Hotel with the participation of over 600 healthcare professionals. The event will discuss various advancements in the technologies and treatment of oesophageal disorders and will have several talks and presentations by international and local experts.
The symposium was opened by Khalid al-Emadi, CEO, Al Ahli Hospital and Medicare Group, who welcomed the participants and highlighted the importance of the symposium. Dr Abdul Azim Abdul Wahab Hussain, chief of medical staff, told that the symposium had a huge response from the healthcare professionals in the country.“We had planned for about 500 participants but we had about 700 registrations. However, we had to stop at around 600 due to various reasons and we are sure that the participants will have a great learning experience throughout the conference,” noted Dr Hussain.“The experts will discuss several oesophageal disorders. Gastroesophageal reflux is becoming very common disorder. Other oesophageal disorders that will be discussed are heartburn, cancer, and eosinophilic oesophagitis. We will also discuss the non-immersive treatment options to cure many of the disorders,” explained Dr Hussian.
