PACD10

Despite recent advances in the understanding and treatment of Diabetes,this syndrome remains a major health problem and very important spot in thehealth map of any country weather developed or developing . prognosis ,complications and net outcome is still below our expectations . an estimated average of four to ten per cent of the      global Arab population are affected. Recent studies suggest that this figure may be even higher and that there may be as many as double this estimation with either suspected or confirmed Diabetes in the Arab countries. The high morbidity, hospitalization and mortality rates associated with Diabetes especially due to cardiovascular complications also impose a heavy financial burden on healthcare systems which are already exhausted in some Arab countries ..Ultimately, progress in Diabetes management depends on ongoing multidisciplinary investigation and subsequent changes in clinical practice in order to implement these advances.One of the objectives of this well known event “ Pan Arab Conference on Diabetes PACD in its 10th year is to gather together all those interested in this area of medical knowledge – Diabetologists ,endocrinologists , cardiologists, internists, b a s i c s c i e n t i s t s , g e n e t i c i s t s , epidemiologists, nurses, nutritionists and others – so that they can share new insights and thus contribute to improving the care of patients, which is our primary mission.To this end, since 1997 we have held a large Meeting every year to provide an extensive update of all recent advances at basic and clinical levels. The next Meeting, PACD10 Diabetes 2006, will be held in the beautiful city of Cairo, the oldest city in the region “where the Nile is about to bifurcate before it ends”.We warmly invite you to come and participate in this Meeting, and share with us the joy of an exciting and challenging scientific programme, as well as the beauty of the enchanting city of Cairo – a mix of the old and the new.We look forward to meeting you in Cairo in March 2006.
