Dear Healthcare Professional,
I am pleased to present you with the conference programme for the 8th Middle East Update In Urology Conference, taking place on

The two-day event will provide delegates with an update in the latest urological treatments, diagnoses and management practices
of those disorders most pertinent to the region, in particular: kidney and infertility, oncology, prostate biopsy and paediatric
urology. Local and international experts will provide delegates with the knowledge and skills to improve urological care in the
region.
Provided by Cleveland Clinic, this conference is part of the Arab Health Congress, the world’s largest multi-track medical congress.
Furthermore, it is one of a handful of events in the region to offer Continuing Medical Education (CME) to attending medical
