Topics that have special resonance in the Gulf and Arab region have been included for discussion, he emphasized.

Mrs. Nada Jaber, Managing Director of Etisal Event Management, event organizer, said that the inspiration for the conference came from the fact that aging has become a big threat to self-image and efficiency in the modern world. "The fact that many medical developments have occurred that can combat this also significantly led us to arrange this conference," she said.

Through its strategic tie-up with National Vision Co., Saudi Arabia, which also is an event organizer, Etisal is planning to make this conference an annual event, aiming for the maximum impact in the region.

Mrs. Nada Jaber also said that the patronage of the Minister of Health of the United Arab Emirates and the sincere support that the conference has from him in addition to the active participation of the Department of Medical Services in Dubai Police, points to its importance. "That Dubai is hosting it is an indicator of the fact that the Emirate is not only a business destination but is also becoming a medical destination," she added.

The nature of the conference ensures that along with being a place for exchange of views and information, it will also be an occasion for companies to exhibit their products.
