I would like to thank his excellency Lieutenant General Doctor Sheikh Mohamed Bin Abdullah Al-Khalifa, Chairman of the Supreme Council of Health, for his patronage to host the 3rd Arabian Gulf University Internal Medicine Conference.
It is noteworthy that the Arab Gulf region is witnessing an unprecedented development in the health sector. In this context, I would like to note:
Firstly, to the increase in the number of highly qualified health workers in the Gulf region. The Arabian Gulf University graduated more than 3,500 doctors since its inception in 1980, many of them occupy leading positions in the Gulf countries, including the Kingdom of Bahrain.
Secondly, the healthcare system in the Gulf region has witnessed a great development and achievements in hospitals and in the primary health care sector. Hospitals have witnessed a great renaissance in their capabilities. The primary healthcare sector in Bahrain is considered one of the best primary healthcare
systems in the region, and globally. Soon, King Abdullah Medical City will join the healthcare system to support the health sector in Bahrain and the Gulf region.
Thirdly: establishment of highly specialized medical centers in the Gulf countries. Among these specialized centers are Princess Al-Jawhara Center for Genetic Diseases and Molecular Medicine and the Center for Regenerative Medicine at the Arabian Gulf University The Arabian Gulf University appreciates the universal health coverage adopted by the Supreme Council of Health in the Kingdom of Bahrain. The university also supports the health sector through the academic and clinical programs offered by the university, such as personalized medicine, molecular medicine, regenerative medicine, and family medicine.
The Arabian Gulf University also had a prominent role in scientific research, as the university produced more than 200 research papers annually.
Cutting edge information in this conference will be presented on healthcare delivery, clinical practice, medical research, quality improvement and more to help physicians, and healthcare providers to best serve their patients and to make a positive impact in our region. In this, education can be a driver of
quality, innovation, and values.
In this context, this conference will provide an excellent opportunity for the participants to exchange experiences, theories, and research data as well as to receive feedback from colleagues and to bring up important axes in all branches of internal medicine.
Sincere thanks are given to the scientific and organizing committees of the conference, who worked very hard to ensure the success of this conference.
I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to H.E Dr. Saad Alfuhaid, president of the Arabian Gulf University for his continuous encouragement and tremendous support for all scientific activities at AGU.
