Conference Objectives

The MENA region (Middle East and North Africa) is a hotbed for many well-known and emerging infectious diseases. Due to political instability and migratory flows, the region might contribute greatly to the global spread of infectious diseases. The conference will bring together local scientists and renowned international experts to address this important issue for global health.
