Abstract

1st International UAE Rare Disease Society Congress ABSTRACT SUBMISSION IS NOW OPEN!

Abstract submissions are welcome for consideration for the 1st International UAE Rare Disease Society Congress, which will be held in Dubai, UAE from 25-26 February 2023.

We are aiming for high-quality fundamental scientific, translational, or clinical research on all areas of rare disease illnesses. Original contributions are appreciated, however work offering an overview of a certain topic will be considered. We also accept early data from ongoing research, theoretical work, and publications on innovative theories. The primary assessment criteria are the quality of the study, the topic's relevance to our audience, and the influence on the field.

ABSTRACT THEME

"General Research in Rare Disease"

Abstracts may cover any type of innovative rare disease research, such as preclinical models, clinical studies, case studies, patient-focused studies, technological, economic, or policy research relating to health and social issues. This theme also includes collaborative initiatives and centers of excellence that involve cutting-edge strategies or projects that could be useful to other groups, organizations, patients, governments, academics, or professionals in the rare disease community.

The topics of the abstracts should include innovative models for medical education training, public health awareness, training of healthcare professionals (HCPs), information exchange, or training that advances screening and/or diagnosis.

Abstracts should include subjects like improvements in patient education, fresh approaches to encourage patient participation in the rare disease community, or productive examples of raising patient advocacy and awareness by utilizing social media and technology.

These abstracts should still be on rare diseases as a whole even though they don't suit any of the categories that were previously mentioned.
