In recent years, huge focus has been placed on the importance of team-based opportunities and collaborations between various HCPs and entities to create “medical conferences”. As they believed that working together involves acknowledging that all participants need to bring knowledge and share the expertise from their professional and personal experience. This caused a rapid enhancement in treatments methods and problem-solving solutions, consequently improving the patient care and the overall healthcare system.

Prof. Ahmed Gamal quoted during his press release that “For the first year in the history of IMAC, we’ve launched a panel discussing peripheral arterial and central veins diseases and the newest technologies and treatments used to manage this case”
“This year’s conference addressed an important point, which is the problems of the “peripheral arteries”, as they are more common than the aorta, which is hardening of the arteries due to some factors such as diabetes, increased cholesterol, smoking, immobility, or sports activities, and these problems may lead to complications, so it must be diagnosed early before problems occur,” said Prof. Sherif Omar El Kordy – Helwan University Professor and Head of the Department of Vascular Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, Helwan University
