FINAL PROGRAMME - Saudi Neurology...

FINAL PROGRAMME

Welcome Message

Dear Colleagues:

It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the 10th GCC Neurology and the 24

th Saudi Neurology Society Meeting

which will be held at the Le Meridien Hotel, AlKhobar, Saudi Arabia on February 8 to 10, 2018. After the great

success of the last meeting in Madinah, Al Munawwarah last year, we hope that you will all enjoy the highly scientific

learning and social activities for this year. In order to show our commitment and appreciation to the new comers in

Neurology, the theme for this year’s meeting is:

BRIDGING THE GAP TOWARDS A BETTER NEUROLOGY IN THE GCC

Neurologists and Scientists from different parts of Saudi Arabia, the GCC and neighboring countries will meet to

exchange knowledge and experience about practice, education and academic endeavors for a brighter future. A

Session is devoted to our colleagues from different parts of the Arab World and this year’s theme for the PAUNS is

Neurogenetics in Arabs. A number of ongoing research results will also be presented. Since the official establishment

of the SNS five years ago, the current Board in its second term worked very hard to make the society one of the most

active medical societies in the Kingdom.

After the great meeting in Oman of the GCC Neurology, the 10th GCC Neurology Meeting aims to make a better

gathering of Neurologists by inviting more participants to be a part of the faculty. There will also be a Business

Meeting on Friday, 9 February 2018 to discuss the future of the group.

No other place would be better than AlKhobar to be the best place for this year’s event as it is the most visited place

in the eastern region of Saudi Arabia. This is home to a vast sea, beautiful beaches and excellent fishing spots. It is a

favorite destination for tourists from different parts of the Kingdom. Eastern Province is considered as one of the most

ancient inhabited places due to the discovery of many ancient artifacts in Rakah neighborhood, pointing out that

Dammam was a famous place for dwelling long time in the past.

You will be fascinated by sea weather and pearl bright beaches where you can enjoy sightseeing while taking a walk

on the Corniche and practicing many other beach sports.

We wish that you all benefit from the scientific program and enjoy the social and professional gatherings.

We look forward to welcome you all in Al-Khobar…..

Dammam – Al Khobar General Information

Dammam (Arabic: الدمام‎‎ ad-Dammām) is the capital of the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia. The judicial and

administrative bodies of the province, plus several government departments, are located in the city. Dammam is the

largest city in the Eastern Province, and the sixth largest in Saudi Arabia,

after Riyadh, Jeddah, Mecca, Medina and Taif Like the other 12 regional capitals of Saudi Arabia, Dammam is not

included within any governorate; instead, it is governed as a "municipality" (Arabic: أمانة‎‎; amanah) headed by

a mayor (Arabic: أمين‎‎; amin).

Dammam is a major administrative center for the Saudi oil industry. Together with the nearby cities of Dhahran and Al

Khobar, Dammam forms part of the Dammam Metropolitan Area, which is commonly known as greater Dammam

and has an estimated population of 4,140,000 as of 2012. Dammam and its suburbs form the center of the Dammam

metropolitan area, also known as Greater Dammam, which is closely linked to the city through social, economic, and

cultural ties. The city is growing at an exceptionally fast rate of 12% a year- the fastest in Saudi Arabia, the Gulf

Cooperation Council, and the Arab world. As of 2016 Greater Dammam is the 4th largest area in both size and

population in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). The Dammam metropolitan area and the rest of the Eastern

Province are served by the King Fahd International Airport (KFIA), the largest airport in the world in terms of land

area (approximately 780 km2), about 20 km to the northwest of the city. Dammam's King Abdul Aziz Sea Port is the

largest on the Arabic Gulf. Its import-export traffic in is second only to Jeddah Seaport in the Middle East and North

Africa (MENA)

Al-Khobar

Al-Khobar (also spelled Khobar or al-Khubar; Arabic: الخبر‎‎) is a large city located in the Eastern Province of the

Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on the coast of the Persian Gulf. It is one of the largest cities in the Gulf Cooperation

Council, with a population of 941,358 as of 2012. Al Khobar, Dammam, and Dhahran are part of the Dammam

metropolitan area, the 3rd largest metropolitan area in Saudi Arabia with an estimated population of over 4,100,000

as of 2012. All three urban centers are served by the King Fahd International Airport which is the largest airport in the

world, and King Abdul Aziz Port. Together, they are often known as "The Triplet Cities" by many natives and locals.

Dammam, Dhahran and Al Khobar are less than 15 km (9.3 mi) apart and form one metropolitan area, the fifth largest

in the kingdom and sixth in the Gulf Cooperation Council.

Many of Al Khobar's residents work for Saudi Aramco, the world's largest oil company, Al Khobar also hosts many

regional and international companies. Traditionally, Khobar has also been a city of shopkeepers and merchants, and

the city today has many modern malls and boulevards with shops run by international franchises and restaurants.

Al Khobar today has many skyscrapers, with more under construction.
