This highly anticipated event is supported by the Emirates Gastroenterology & Hepatology Society (EGHS), a scientific society affiliated with the Emirates Medical Association (EMA). The meeting is dedicated to advancing clinical knowledge and best practices in pediatric gastroenterology and nutrition, with a particular emphasis on parenteral nutrition in children with complex gastrointestinal disorders.

Designed to support skill development and improve clinical outcomes in pediatric care, the event will bring together a distinguished group of pediatricians, gastroenterologists, clinical nutritionists, researchers, nurses, and other healthcare professionals from across the Middle East and beyond. Attendees can look forward to keynote lectures, panel discussions, clinical case reviews, and networking opportunities aimed at fostering collaboration and cross-disciplinary innovation.
