heads. The event will include a workshop on microsurgery targeting the
otitis media (the middle ear) in addition to targeting the temporal bone
that contains both the otitis media and the auris interna (the inner

workshops, channeling their hands-on experiences in handling such
operations for specialists within UAE and the region.
Dr. Hussain
Abdul Rahman, MOH Assistant Undersecretary for Health Centers and
Clinics and President of ORL, Head & Neck Society, Emirates Medical

Dubai - Festival City, hosting international specialist physicians to
discuss inner ear-related dizziness. Another workshop will present the
latest updated research regarding Otolaryngology, and for the first
time, will allow specialist researchers to receive training on how to
conduct medical research.”
“These workshops precede the 5th
Emirates Rhinology & Otology Congress, which will be held in Dubai
on 14-16 January, under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin
Rashid Al Maktoum, Deputy Ruler of Dubai, Minister of Finance, and
President of Dubai Health Authority. The Congress will run in line with
the 9th International Pan ARABFOS Conference, 4th Arab & GCC Otology
& Audiology Conference, and the 2nd Advanced Arab Academy of
Audio-vestibular Conference. An anticipated 1200 physicians, 40 of whom
are international, will attend the event. A post-congress workshop on
snoring and apnea will be held on the 17th of January,” Dr. Abdul Rahman
added.
Dr. Abdul Rahman continued: “In terms of prevalence, the
most common Rhinology and Otology diseases are sinus diseases with 15
percent, followed by nose allergy and apnea problems with 10 percent,
and head and neck cancer tumors with 3 percent.” He urged all concerned
entities and individuals to raise awareness regarding preventive
measures. “Primarily, avoid exposure to dust, avoid smoking, and clean
air-ducts and air-conditioning thoroughly and regularly- where fungi
tend to grow,” he said. Dr. Abdul Rahman added: “the Congress will tap
into a variety of topics. Participating physicians will present a
comprehensive approach on nasal and sinus diseases, ear diseases and
cochlear implant operations in children who suffer from severe hearing
loss. The topics will also cover hearing and disequilibrium disorders,
cancerous tumors in mouth, larynx, head, and neck, in addition to
