The Obs-Gyne Conference is the ideal platform to discuss evidence-based, sound medical practice. Topics looked at how to practice with knowledge and how to avoid being defensive or breach ethics, which is very important to physicians.Dr Teodora Ucenic, Consultant Obs & Gynae, Al Ain Hospital, Al Ain, UAE

The best care for women in the UAE is a shared care model, with midwives as the expert in normal birth and doctors as the experts in complicated births, working in partnership.Zita West, Midwifery Consultant and Fertility Expert, Zita West Clinic, London, UK

I have been a speaker at this conference for the last 4-5 years. This year the quality of the presentations was of the highest and the number of attendees has also increased. People are benefiting from attending these evidence-based up-to-date conferences, which are presented by scientists from all over the world.Dr Wafa Al-Omari, MBChB, D Obst, RCPO, FRCOG, CCST, Consultant Obs & Gynae, Sydney, Australia

A global conference that brings internationally and nationally acclaimed academicians and clinicans to the Middle East to share their expertise on state-of-the-art topics in obstetrics, gynaecology and women’s health.Dr Mohammed Rajabi, FACOG, Staff Physician, Section of Maternal-Foetal Medicine, Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, Ohio, USA

The Obs-Gyne Exhibition & Congress opened with a real buzz, it’s fantastic. We made some good leads and spoke to some really important decision-makers from the region. We are also recruiting to fill 400 vacancies available for all medical specialities, we had many people submitting their CV. Great result!Mashael Al Abed, Business Development Manager, Dr. Sulaiman Al-Habib Medical Group, Dubai, UAE
