The Alexandria Pediatric Center (APC) recently held its annual conference, drawing 350+ attendees for an enriching event from 16-18 October at Hilton Green Plaza, Alexandria focused on advancing pediatric health knowledge. The event included impactful sessions designed for young physicians and healthcare professionals, creating a platform for exchanging valuable insights and enhancing expertise in children’s health.

In his opening address, Professor Salah Zaher, Conference President, welcomed guests warmly, expressing his excitement for the gathering. “It is a privilege to see so many dedicated individuals here today. We hope that each session brings you maximum knowledge, equipping you to make meaningful contributions to the health and well-being of children. Let’s make this a day of learning, sharing, and growth.”

One of the conference’s highlights was the focus on the “Golden 1000 Days” initiative – a critical period in a child’s early life that shapes their future health and development. The conference was honored by the presence of officials from the Ministry of Health, who spoke on the importance of the first 1,000 days, emphasizing their role in preventing health issues and supporting overall well-being. This initiative aims to equip families and healthcare providers with the tools and knowledge to ensure every child has the healthiest possible start in life.

Throughout the day, seasoned experts led various sessions on essential topics, including early childhood development, preventive healthcare, and specialized pediatric treatments. These sessions offered young physicians and healthcare professionals practical insights and the latest research, building confidence in their ability to provide comprehensive care for children.

Additionally, the APC Podcast made a meaningful impact by featuring in-depth conversations with healthcare experts, allowing for audience engagement and creating a lasting resource of advice that extended beyond the conference itself.

An impactful Awareness Day also formed part of the event, underscoring the belief that children are among life’s greatest blessings. Families gained practical knowledge for nurturing their children’s health, aligning with APC’s vision of promoting a healthier, more informed community.

Thank you to everyone who joined this collaborative effort to support the health and future of our youngest generation, and to empower young physicians on their journey toward expertise in pediatric care.
