SAMS hosted its 15th International Conference in Beirut, Lebanon on July 23-24, 2015. The theme of the conference, “Leadership and Quality Improvement in Healthcare and Medical Relief”, was chosen to reflect our organizational commitment to constantly adapt and innovate to improve the current quality of care delivery, as well as the future of healthcare.
This conference was an opportunity to share expertise and experiences to gain a more in-depth perspective on overcoming challenges in medical relief, and to address current updates and changes in medicine.
SAMS proudly honored exemplary medical personnel and humanitarians during the conference including:
- SAMS honored Dr. Khaled Kandil with the SAMS Humanitarian Award for his amazing work for SAMS, including establishing and running our first dialysis clinic in Syria.
- An award remembering the remarkable lives and work of Deah, Yusor Abu-Salha, and Razan Abu-Salha presented to Namee Barakat, the father of Deah Barakat.
