Event Opening
Dear Colleagues,
It gives me a great pleasure to welcome you all to the Second Annual Conference 2024 of Society of Reproductive Medicine and Embryology (SRME) which marks an end to more than quarter century of remarkable and successful Saudi Fertility Group (SFG) achievements and bringing us now to a new promising beginning of Society of Reproductive Medicine and Embryology (SRME) which is to set in the global stage of Reproductive Medicine.
This conference entitled “Contemporary Practice in Reproductive Medicine” comes as part of the newly established Society of Reproductive Medicine and Embryology (SRME) has mission, vision, and values to continuously interact with the large community (local and international) in the field of Reproductive Medicine, providing health information education, an up-to-date knowledge, and development in reproductive science and technology.
There are three main goals why we are having this conference:
First, is to provide us with an opportunity to share experiences and to update our knowledge for the benefit of our practices and clients.
Second, is to preserve continuous medical education (CME) and active research for the progress in reproductive health.
Third, by part of our “active socialization” we have the opportunity to meet old friends or make new ones, the bond grows stronger among us and between generations having no gaps bringing the best in everyone.
Finally, I would like to thank all the speakers, chairpersons, and sponsoring companies for participating in this annual event and extend my gratitude to my organizing committee team for their hard work.
Wishing you all an enjoyable experience.
Best Regards,
Dr. Hamad Alsufyan, FRCOG
