At the conclusion of its activities in Abu Dhabi
Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates - Saturday, October 18th 2014 [ME NewsWire]
The
Pan Medical Conference on Women’s Health, which is organized by the Abu
Dhabi Police General Headquarters, represented by the Medical Services
Department, called for conducting a comprehensive survey to identify the
major endemic diseases in the region. This would help to create a
database aimed at measuring improvement and development of efforts and
resources in the fight against these diseases with a view to eradicate
them completely. It also recommended encouraging health authorities to
develop national programs, by which the diseases prevailing in the
region are thoroughly studied with the aim of combating them.
On
the closing day of the conference, which took place on Saturday at the
Rosewood Hotel in Abu Dhabi, participants indicated that early health
care for woman will protect them against several aging-associated
diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, stroke,
different cancers, and stretch marks. It will also help to avoid
permanent disabilities that may be caused by some diseases. They noted
that early care, which starts in the very first stages of women’s life,
all the way through adolescence, pregnancy, and childbearing, up to
menopause produces a healthy society made up of healthy children and a
coherent family with participation from both the husband and wife.
In
their recommendations, the participants at the conference called for
reviewing the existing applicable health strategies, improving their
criteria and adding new standards; in addition to developing an action
plan for early cultural and awareness programs that are age-appropriate
to spread health awareness, as a good investment in humans in general
and women in particular. Participants also stressed the need to
regularly organize such global highly acclaimed conferences, which
represent a major challenge, due to the different disciplines discussed
under one theme. Additionally, participants stressed the importance of
promoting research and the need for encouraging medical school graduates
and new doctors to take part in such endeavors, so as to enrich
scientific research and contribute to creating a reliable scientific
database used as reference to develop plans and strategies.
The
conference also called for enhanced cooperation with global medical
experts, which would help improve local competences and therefore
benefit patients and make sure they enjoy a healthy lifestyle.
