A number of doctors from Prince Sultan Cardiac Center Al-Qassim participated in the 2nd Annual Science Meeting held at the Charitable Heart Diseases Foundation in Mukalla, Hadramawt, Yemen. 

Dr. Ali Al-Akhfash, PSCCQ’s Pediatric Cardiology Consultant were accompanied by his colleagues, Dr. Khaled Al-Houry,  Pediatric Cardiac Surgery Consultant and Dr. Marwan Al-Houbani, Intensive Care Consultant. Both of them are from PSCCQ. 

Dr. Ali Al-Akhfash is one of the speakers in the meeting, representing Prince Sultan Cardiac Center Qassim.  He discussed the Pediatric Cardiac Emergencies and Pulmonary Hypertension in Pediatric Updates. He substantiated his lecture by clearly explaining and elaborating the things needed to be learned regarding this case. 

The meeting was comprised of three simultaneous scientific workshops in which participants/speakers from Prince Sultan Cardiac Center Qassim actively participated. Likewise, the participating guests also learned and were informed about the most recent findings of the researchers in the field of cardiology. 

The scientific workshop entitled Anatomy of the Heart, Intensive Care and Recovery and its Role in ECHO Cardiac Imaging turned out successful. It was fun and engaging because all the doctors have taken part in the activity. The formation and dissection of the heart has been demonstrated in a practical way using the heart of an animal as a model sample. 

Aside from participating in the workshop, the doctors also have their own piece of scientific lectures discussed during the conference. 

The said meeting is considered to be among the scientific and societal activities carried out by Prince Sultan Cardiac Center in Al-Qassim objectively aiming to train doctors and health workers in Yemen as well as to provide medical services to patients, which also includes medical campaigns for catheterization and cardiac treatment. 

It was also overwhelming considering that everyone had a great time during the meeting. It ended productive and substantial.  Hopefully, another meeting of similar agenda will be held in the future.
