In a speech at the opening ceremony, Husban
stressed the importance of such conferences during which expertise is
exchanged, and participants are enabled to keep up with the latest developments
and tap into experts’ research results and treatments.
“The specialists’ exchange of expertise
reflects positively on doctors and patients equally,” he said, highlighting the
importance of educating patients and the general public on interventional
radiology and its role in diagnosing and treating illnesses.
“The
COVID-19 pandemic has taught us a lot,
and has prompted us to reconsider, re-evaluate and reorganize local and global
health systems to address any potential emergencies,” he said, pointing to
Jordan’s achievements in the medical sector in general, and in interventional
radiology in particular.
Husban highlighted the cooperation between
the private medical sector and the National Goodwill Campaign, whose higher
committee president is HRH Princess Basma.
Chairman of the Scientific Committee of the
Jordanian Society of Interventional Radiologists (JSIR) Maher Khawaldeh said
the two-day conference is an ideal way to exchange expertise and stay up to
date on the latest medical developments.
Interventional radiology, he said, “aims to
perform various minimally invasive procedures, which have the same efficiency
as traditional procedures, but less impact on the patient’s body and result in
fewer complications”.
Khawaldeh said the conference will include
workshops on the treatment of cerebral hemorrhages at the
King Hussein Medical Center and lectures on different sub-branch of interventional radiology.
Izzeddin Qtaish, President of the JSIR, underlined that
Jordan was one of the first countries to introduce this medical major, through
the Jordanian Royal Medical Services, thanks to His Majesty King Abdullah’s
commitment to developing medical services.
