The hospital receives thousands of international patient visits each year from all around the globe, including many from Kuwait and other GCC countries.
With regards to the conference, Dr. Gerard Martin, Medical Director of Global Services at Children’s National, said: “At Children’s National, we are always looking for ways to collaborate with like-minded local healthcare entities, organizations and groups to partner on knowledge and expertise exchanges. An international collaboration, through the form of scientific meetings and medical conferences, is important for bi-directional learning and enables professionals to gain fresh perspectives and expand their knowledge base.
On his part, Rami Al-Tayar, Regional Director at Children’s National, said: “We are proud of our long and fruitful partnership with the medical community in Kuwait, and this conference is only the latest in a long string of collaborative projects we have had in this great country.

We look forward to even more collaboration in the future.”
