There will be pre-conference workshops that will focus on the development of skills and knowledge among various healthcare providers for patients with bleeding disorders which will fulfill the theme of this meeting on “New Horizons Toward Comprehensive Care”. In addition, there will be ample opportunities for all healthcare providers to build networks, share experience, and chance to meet colleagues in this field. It will be a great pleasure to join with physicians, nurses, allied health practitioners, scientists, and scholars from around the Arab world and our international speakers from around the globe.

This year, we had made arrangements for direct translation for all meeting sessions to the Arabic language to enable our patients to attend and be educated about their disease and be engaged in discussions as well as provide them with a venue for the development of patient advocacy through a special pre-conference workshop.

The conference will be held in the fast-moving capital of the Kingdom, which will enable attendees to explore the old and modern Riyadh City.
