Medical society holds neurology conference

TDT | Manama

The Neuroscience Association of Bahrain Medical Society (BMS) held the 11th Gulf Neurology Conference virtually. It took place under the patronage of the Supreme Council of Health (SCH) president Dr. Shaikh Mohammed bin Abdullah Al Khalifa.

The conference reviewed the latest therapeutic developments for the most common neurological diseases of concern to patients in Bahrain, including stroke, migraine, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, involuntary nerve movements, and myasthenia gravis and peripheral nerves.

One of the conference workshops focused on brain strokes, especially after Bahrain started an application to treat strokes by dissolving them or by the catheter. A big part of the conference was devoted to addressing epilepsy, where International League Against Epilepsy president Sam Wiebe gave a talk on the topic.

The conference included 52 lectures in which 40 lecturers were represented by a group of doctors, specialists, and consultants in neurology from Bahrain, the region, and the world. The number of views was 2,700 in Bahrain, and nearly 4,200 internationally.
