The first IFOS World Congress to be held in the Gulf region, the 22nd edition of the event is being organised in cooperation with the GCC ORL Head and Neck Society and the UAE ORL Head and Neck Society.

Events organised by the emirate bring together scientists, healthcare industry leaders, doctors and policymakers from across the world to exchange new ideas and knowledge.
Dr. Al Mulla said Dubai has become a prominent destination for investment and talent in the sector and a major catalyst for the healthcare industry’s growth in the region and beyond. The IFOS World Congress will provide an opportunity to bring together stakeholders in the global ORL field to explore new ways to promote growth, development and innovation, he added.
