Welcome to the Conference

I would like to welcome you to the Farwaniya Hospital Conference 2022 COVID-19: Basics and Beyond. As we know the last two years have been quite the challenge in terms of matters relevant to healthcare and this is due to the events of the COVID-19 pandemic. In Farwaniya Hospital, we are very proud to say that the way we got through this testing time was by a team effort involving all departments in the hospital. This is what helped us decide to plan a multidisciplinary multispeciality conference to shed the light on the importance of teamwork in a crisis. This involves sharing information and knowledge about the basics and advancements regarding the pandemic of the century. I would like to extend my thanks to everyone who has been an integral part of the organization of this conference and all who have registered to attend it, hoping that you will greatly benefit in learning everything from the foundations to the latest updates of COVID-19.
