Management of advanced liver diseases is a challenging task. The complex nature of liver diseases requires a multi-disciplinary approach to ensure the best outcome for patients. The World Health Organization reports that total deaths worldwide from cirrhosis and liver cancer are increasing. Furthermore, this trend is reflected locally as nearly 30 percent of the UAE’s adult population might be at risk of or are currently suffering from the non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
In light of this, Aster DM Healthcare hosted CME program for Doctors from UAE & India on Liver transplant and Liver Diseases at Hyatt Regency Creek Heights, Dubai on April 22nd accredited by DHA. The CME conference, co-organized by Astra Zeneca, brought together more than 18 specialists practicing speakers in the Middle East and India, belonging to Aster Hospital and Clinics, Medcare Hospital & Clinics and Aster Medcity in Kochi and Aster CMI Hospital Bangalore.
The CME allowed doctors and various specialists to present, collaborate and share knowledge on the latest research, technology and treatments. Optimizing outcomes and ensuring safety in liver transplantations to Hepatocellular screening and multi-disciplinary management for liver disease, the conference aimed at addressing the rising incidence of liver disease globally and regionally.
