The COVID-19 crisis has tested resilience and agility of the health systems all over the world in an unprecedented way, it highlighted the great solidarity, inventiveness and resilience of the Medical Teams in every Healthcare entity. The workforce proved their strength and how they fought fiercely the pandemic on ground. On another hand, the healthcare was worn out from the challenges they surprisingly faced through that pandemic. Physicians were all focusing on acknowledging the updates of COVID-19, treatments, medicines etc… Physicians needed a wrap up! They needed to have a round about the world’s updates and changes in many specialties while we’re moving into the next phase of the fight against COVID-19.
Second International conference of Egyptian Railways Medical Services
The “Second International conference of Egyptian Railways Medical Services” was created to fulfill those needs! Held on the 13th-14th of January 2022 as the best kick off for 2022. The conference was a great opportunity for knowledge accumulation and sharing of information as it aimed to reduce the incidence of occupational diseases, maintain the public and professional health.
Management of COVID-19 patients, Cardiothoracic& cardiology sessions, plastic surgeries newest updates and various discussions about Miscellaneous and Hepatocellular carcinoma were all opportunities to the delegates in the conference to dig deep into, learn from, and share their knowledge about. The two days were condensed yet limitlessly informative.
