The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia in the United States, Schneider Children's Medical Center of Israel, and Corniche Hospital together with Sheikh Khalifa Medical City from SEHA Abu Dhabi Health Services, in United Arab Emirates have joined together to host the 1st International Middle East Fetal-Neonatal Cardiovascular Disease Conference.

We have invited leading experts in the field from the region and around the world to lecture and interact with a global community of attendees interested in learning about the latest standards and innovations of care for the fetus and newborn with heart disease.

The field of prenatal and neonatal cardiovascular care is a unique collaborative aspect of medicine which spans a number of specialties including genetics, obstetrics, maternal-fetal medicine, imaging, neonatology, pediatric cardiology, cardiac surgery, pediatric intensive care, and ethics. Included for discussion in our conference are topics such as: genetics of heart disease, fetal and newborn imaging, review of specific fetal cardiovascular conditions, obstetrical and maternal care, innovative fetal therapies, care of the newborn with heart disease including catheter and surgical interventions, social aspects and long-term outcomes of congenital heart disease in the middle east, and other subjects.
