WELCOME MESSAGE​
Dear Colleagues and Friends,
​
On behalf of the Organizing Committee of the 1st International Conference on Regional Anesthesia, Pain and Regenerative Medicine, I am delighted to invite you to participate the meeting in Marriott Hotel Downtown, Abu Dhabi, UAE on May 31 – June 02, 2024.
Dr. Amar Salti
Conference Chairman
WSPC President
Consultant Anesthesia and
Interventional Pain Medicine
Abu Dhabi, UAE
The conference aims to provide an international forum for reporting advances in pain medicine and to unite clinicians and healthcare givers with a common interest in treating pain.
​
This is a 3-day event wherein delegates will have chance to work with the experts in the pre-event workshop, with hands-on and rotation activities on May 31, 2024, from 10am to 8pm. The next two-day scientific program will cover nearly all areas of interventional pain treatment with emphasis on recent advances in new technologies and mainly regenerative medicine bridging the latest research and innovations to modern clinical practice, featuring plenary lectures, symposia, workshops and poster presentations, as well as commercial exhibitions and various social events.
​
Global consumption of opioid analgesics for the treatment of moderate to severe pain has more than doubled over the past decade, however, the prescription of these drugs calls on concerns if used in chronic pain conditions as it may cause serious side effects and addiction. Therefore, interventional treatment of pain has to be considered as a first option to manage pain.
​
Abu Dhabi, as a vibrating modern city at the crossroads of three continents – Europe, Asia and Africa, will provide the attractive setting for the conference. The conference venue itself is in the heart of the city. It will give you a good opportunity to experience the traditional and modern culture with a relaxing and informative stay. Congress delegates can enjoy a stress-free environment with sunshine, pristine beaches and turquoise waters and thrilling activities in the desert!
​
We are looking forward to seeing you in Abu Dhabi.
