Dr. Fatema Al Alawi

CCCB President and Chair of the Organizing Committee

It is my pleasure to welcome you all on behalf of the Organizing Committee to the Crohn’s and Colitis Conference, in its first edition, in the lovely Kingdom of Bahrain. Inflammatory Bowel Disease has become an area of growing interest over the past few years and multiple international organisations have dedicated time and research to combat this disease entity. Our region has experienced an astounding disease surge highlighting the importance of improving the understanding of Crohn’s and colitis and management of these diseases.

Our conference is intended to discuss and share the latest cutting the edge advances in both diagnosis and management of inflammatory bowel disease under the theme ‘Collaborate to Heal’ where we will emphasis the necessity and efficacy of a multidisciplinary approach to provide patients with the best standard of care available out there.

We hope that this meeting will provide you with that extra yard where you can discuss and share the most recent research and recommendations in the field of IBD with our reputable and internationally renowned faculty members.

I am thrilled to welcome you to the pearl of the Arabian Gulf, the beautiful Kingdom of Bahrain, where culture and hospitality tango in a mesmerising recipe to guarantee you an unforgettable experience and memorable stay.
