Byblos Health: 16-21 April, 2018 The First Emergency Medicine Conference of ND Maritime Hospital Dear colleagues and friends, In my name and on behalf of ND Maritime Hospital management, I am pleased and honored to announce the First International Emergency Medicine Conference that will be held in the framework of Byblos Health activities organized by the hospital between the 16th and the 21st of April, 2018. Plenary sessions will be held at St John Marc parish house (Ontoch) and the workshops will take place at Byblos Cultural Center, Byblos Municipality and ND Maritime Hospital. The support of both National Orders of physicians and nurses as well as the Lebanese French Medical Association and prominent International societies of emergency medicine grant this event greater importance. A very rich and varied scientific program is offered along with a series of workshops targeting all emergency professionals. Speakers and delegates from different countries will be given the opportunity to share and exchange knowledge and expertise and explore the latest medical technologies. My sincere thanks go to all speakers and moderators as well as to the scientific and organization committees’ members for their dedicated efforts to make this congress a success. I would like also to express my gratitude to Reverend father Charbel Beyrouti superior general of St John Marc parish home and to the Municipal Council of Byblos and its President Wissam Zaarour for their unconditional support. Last but not least, I would like to thank all the sponsors and Institutions for their continuous collaboration and commitment in our hospital activities. Looking forward to seeing you all in Byblos, millenary city and cradle of the alphabet.
