SAMS is hosting its 2nd International Symposium, “COVID-19 Pandemic: Lessons Learned Moving Forward” in Trabzon, Turkey on July 23, 2021. The full-day symposium will bring together physicians, humanitarians, thought leaders, and healthcare practitioners from inside Syria. Attendees will learn about the latest updates to treatment and vaccination for COVID-19, its impact on the ground, and SAMS’ response to this global health crisis. The symposium will include upwards of 8 hours of CME lectures and a gala dinner and will take place at the Radisson Blu Hotel Trabzon.
