Science Researcher Update: Spotlight on Meetings, Conferences, and Events

The incidence and prevalence of renal diseases are on the rise all over the world. Chronic non-communicable diseases like diabetes mellitus and hypertension are still representing the major causes of end-stage renal disease. Fighting against such diseases is a big health challenge for the future.
Diabetes, for which the MENA has one of the world’s highest rates, is the main cause of kidney failure. Progression of kidney to end-stage renal failure (ESRF) has tremendous human and economic implications. Awareness within the medical community and the public at large about the advances of therapeutic and preventive measures is also an important factor for progress toward better kidney health in the Middle East.
With this in mind, we are delighted to announce the MENA Nephrology Congress, the region’s premier event connecting policy makers, nephrology experts and researchers to exchange knowledge and generate new ideas that will foster the advancement in management and treatment of kidney disease in the region.
