Welcome
Dear Colleagues,
This conference entitled Contemporary Practice in Infertility comes as part of the society responsibility to interact with the community in large, providing accurate health information and education in the up to date knowledge and development in fertility treatment and technology.
It gives me a great pleasure to welcome all participants to the EIGHTH Scientific Symposium of SFG of SSOG.
The three main tasks of the conference are:
• First, is to provide us with an opportunity to share experiences and update our knowledge for the benefit of our practices and clients.
• Second, is to keep the wheel of CME and active research running for the progress in reproductive health and medical science.
• Third task is “social” as by meeting old friends or making new ones, the bond grows stronger among us and between generations.
This Activity has been accredited to all health providers by the Saudi Commission for Health Specialties (SCFHS) and awarded (16) CME/PD credit hours.
Finally, I thank all speakers, chairpersons and sponsoring companies for participating in this annual event and I wish you all an enjoyable experience.
Best Regards,
President of Saudi Fertility Group (SFG)
