SCH Chief patronises conference

Under the patronage of Lt-General Dr Shaikh Mohammed bin Abdullah Al Khalifa, President of the Supreme Council of Health (SCH) and Chairman of the High Medical Committee, and in association with the Mohammed bin Khalifa Cardiac Centre and Mayo Clinic a cardiovascular conference will be held from January 27-30.

This is the third year that Bahrain hosts this international meeting, attracting last year more than 270 international and local physicians.

Twelve speakers from Mayo clinic in Rochester, Minnesota will give 34 talks covering all aspects of cardiovascular medicine including coronary artery disease, heart failure, cardiovascular disease, congenital heart disease, electrical abnormalities of the heart, as well as the latest surgical and interventional procedures related to the heart.

The faculty are world renowned experts in the field of cardiovascular medicine, who have been providing this extensive course for the last 20 years in Rochester, Minnesota.

“We are lucky to have this meeting held here in Bahrain for the third year running. It gives our physicians the chance to attend this scientific forum without the travel and financial costs of a long trip. It also helps to improve the standards of care given to our cardiac patients both in Bahrain and the region at large,” Dr. Shaikh Mohammed said.

“This academic meeting would not have been possible without the financial and logistical support provided by the Mohammed bin Khalifa Cardiac Centre (MKCC),” he added.
