Welcome Message
On behalf of GPC Conference Board & Scientific Committee, It is our utmost pleasure to welcome you all at the Global Pediatric Congress, Dubai on 8th of September 2023 at Al Habtoor Palace Dubai, Al Habtoor City, Sheikh Zayed Rd. Dubai, UAE.
Our congress theme for this year is: Accelerating innovation in Pediatric Health Care. We will elaborate on this theme with cohesive sets of plenary presentations by top experts in the field of pediatrics from all over the globe allowing us to learn about the latest global advances in child health in a vibrant atmosphere.
We are indeed at a very interesting time when it comes to innovation in healthcare as artificial intelligence (AI) has become increasingly important in our practice due to its potential to revolutionize various aspects of the industry, also health economics understanding is crucial to any healthcare leaders and professionals in-order to optimize healthcare systems, and we don’t want to forget the future of medical education and the future of medical doctors within all these changes, for this we decided to discuss these futuristic topics at our conference this year which we strongly believe will be a great source of inspiration.
We welcome all healthcare leaders pediatricians, pediatric subspeciality doctors, child psychiatrists’ general practitioners, family medicine doctors, medical students, child psychologists, child physiotherapists, dieticians, pharmacists, nurses, therapists and all health care providers dealing with children to come and enjoy research and meet and interact with health care providers from all over the globe.
The program has already shaped up to be excellent, and the networking opportunities will be indeed outstanding. The Congress being held in Dubai, the most futuristic city in the world, the hub of innovation and integration, will add to the pleasure of the meeting and will provide lasting memories for our visitors.
I add my best wishes for a successful and fruitful conference and many thanks to our conference board, scientific committee and our organizers.
Please save the date.
