Welcome Letter

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

we have all been experiencing over the last few months an unprecedented “general crisis”. The COVID-19 pandemic has challenged our lives and among other things also the face-to-face meetings as authorities have imposed travel restrictions and physical distancing.

While we all can’t wait to meet each other again LIVE in Al Khobar on February 24-27, 2021, at the big IFSO MENAC – PASMBS – GOSS – SASMBS Meeting, our responsibility as an IFSO Chapter is to reach out to all our member Societies and individual members to take all possible measures to provide the safest possible environment for themselves and their loved ones. 

Nevertheless we want to assure our Members the possibility for educational exchanges, scientific news and best practice updates.
For this reason we have decided, until we meet again in person in Al Khobar next year, to organize an IFSO MENAC VIRTUAL CONGRESS, so as not to miss the opportunity to meet, even if only on the web, and exchange opinions on our profession.

We are glad to invite you to join our first IFSO MENAC VIRTUAL CONGRESS 2020 which will take place on October 30 and 31, 2020, while continuing to take care of yourself, your family, your colleagues and those around you.

We thank you in advance for your support in making the IFSO MENAC VIRTUAL CONGRESS 2020 a great success!

 THE IFSO MENAC SCIENTIFIC ORGANIZING COMMITTEE
