Al-Kafeel Super Speciality Hospital in Karbala has launched the second edition of the Al-Kafeel International Conference for spine and spinal cord surgery, in cooperation with the Faculty of Medicine at Al-Ameed University.

The conference, hosted by the university affiliated to the Higher Education Authority at the Al-Abbas's (p) holy shrine, was attended by a number of officials of the Al-Abbas's (p) holy shrine, heads of its departments, and a group of Iraqi and foreign doctors.

The conference began with a beautiful recitation of verses from the Holy Quran, and included scientific sessions focused on spine and spinal cord surgery delivered by specialized doctors from inside and outside Iraq.

The executive director of the hospital, Dr. Jassim Ibrahimi, said that " the Al-Kafeel conference is one of the important conferences that discuss the progress in spinal surgery with a specialist in fractures and neurology, and with the presence of frequent spinal injuries that affect the spinal cord or peripheral nerves, the idea came to hold the conference to discuss the latest findings of science regarding these surgeries."

He added that "the conference aims to create a meeting between doctors from inside and outside Iraq to exchange experiences and information in the field of spine and spinal cord surgery," noting that the conference is in the interest of the hospital and the university by keeping pace with the tremendous progress in management and scientific systems and the services they provide to other institutions."

Ibrahimi pointed out that "the main reason for the continuous progress achieved by the hospital is the care, planning and diligent follow-up of the Al-Abbas's (p) holy shrine, and the hospital management held scientific seminars continuously, attracting leading Iraqi and foreign doctors interested in this field".

The conference witnessed a group of specialized doctors reviewing their successful experiences in the field of spine and spinal cord surgery, exchanging opinions, setting a roadmap by offering solutions and taking advantage of experiences to support the medical arena, and providing a medical atmosphere that helps to treat difficult conditions in the spine and spinal cord.

Al-Kafeel hospital, behind the organization of the conference, seeks to exchange experiences between specialized doctors and serve the medical field in the country, relying on Iraqi national competencies.
