It is the first UAE event to engage the professionals and the public in the debate of the scientific and clinical issues surrounding the prevention of genetic diseases in the community from prenatal, premarital and newborn screening – a powerful new diagnostic tool. We have developed an outstanding program that includes plenary and invited sessions presented by a diverse group of world-renowned physicians, scientists, counselors and leaders in their fields. This subject has attracted a huge amount of press interest across the world. Here is the perfect chance to learn more from the doctors that are actually involved in the process.
It provides a unique opportunity for each of us to receive information, enter into dialogue and become better connected with people, families and groups across the world who are working together to unlock the mysteries of these rare genetic conditions. This event, we hope, will provide a vehicle to assist patients and their families to have better health and richer lives.
It is our desire that this conference impacts and influences thinking into the coming years. We want to challenge conventional thinking in this area for the betterment of the whole community. We hope that all attendees are able to leave this event in Dubai better off for the experience of having attended.
The conference is the educational and networking destination for medical and clinical geneticists, genetic counselors, pediatric and obstetric practitioners who are providing comprehensive diagnostic, management and counseling services for patients with, or at risk for, genetically influenced health problems; laboratory directors and technicians conducting genetic testing; and all healthcare and public health professionals with an interest in the rapidly evolving field of medical genetics and its integration into healthcare.
