Scientific Chair's Welcome

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

It is my great pleasure to extend a warm welcome to all of you joining us from across the Gulf Region, the Middle East, and beyond for the 4th Middle East Rheumatology Conference. Taking place in Dubai, UAE, from May 16th to 18th, the 2025 conference presents a fantastic opportunity to build on the success of previous years and raise the standard of education in the region, ultimately improving patient care. I am confident that this year’s program will both impress and inspire you.

As Chair of the Scientific Committee for the GCC Association of Immunology and Rheumatology, I am proud to continue our focus on collaboration throughout this event. We are excited to welcome participation from colleagues across the region, as well as from various medical specialties.

We are delighted to host a distinguished lineup of regional and international speakers, who will deliver thought-provoking talks designed to engage the audience and spark meaningful discussions.

Once again, the primary goal of the Middle East Rheumatology Conference is to offer an opportunity for all of us to stay informed about the latest advancements in immunology and rheumatology, while fostering networking among colleagues from across the region. We hope that these efforts will contribute to better outcomes for our patients living with autoimmune and rheumatic diseases.

Sincerely,

Dr. Beena Hameed
Consultant Rheumatologist
