Dear Colleagues
It is our great pleasure to invite you to participate in the 5th International Conference on Psychiatry, organized by Saudi German Hospital (SGH)-Jeddah, Al-Amal Hospital – Jeddah, Saudi Psychiatric Association (SPA) and British Arab Psychiatric Association (BAPA).
Conference theme: "Challenges in the Outcome of Psychiatric Disorders "
Venue: Intercontinental Hotel, Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Date: 21 – 23 April 2009
Mental disorders are highly prevalent, heterogeneous, and of multifactorial etiology. Collectively, they are associated with significant morbidity, mortality, and economic cost. Wellness is the optimal outcome in the management of chronic medical and psychiatric disorders.
Recently there has been a growing awareness of the importance of the outcome in the management of psychiatric disorders.
We aim is to present and discuss comprehensive updated knowledge in the field of psychiatry. We believe this conference is a wonderful opportunity for Arab expertise within the Arab World & across the globe to exchange experience, network & plan for future collaborative activities. We hope to conclude practical achievable directions for improving psychiatric services in our region for the near future.
The conference main speakers will be opinion leaders in the field of psychiatry as well as policy and decision makers. We also welcome new research & submissions from senior colleagues & trainees.
In our three days’ conference you will enjoy the Academic, Social & Spiritual aspects of the programme. In addition you will definitely enjoy the well-known Arabic hospitality.
