Welcome Note

Dear colleagues,

It is with great enthusiasm that we welcome you to the 3rd Kuwait Hematology Conference (KHC). Building on the success and momentum of previous editions, this year’s conference will bring together a distinguished panel of hematologists, researchers, and clinicians to share the latest advancements, clinical practices, and research findings in both benign and malignant hematology.

The conference is designed to present recent updates in diagnostic and therapeutic hematology, highlight case-based approaches for both common and rare hematologic disorders, foster interdisciplinary collaboration and knowledge exchange across specialties, and provide hands-on workshops that support clinical decision-making.

Our target audience includes hematologists (adult and pediatric), oncologists, internists, hematopathologists, laboratory specialists, clinical pharmacists, trainees and fellows in hematology, oncology, and internal medicine, as well as allied health professionals involved in hematologic care.

Each session will feature 2–3 expert presentations followed by a moderated Q&A to encourage interactive learning and clarify key takeaways. Satellite symposia and coffee breaks are thoughtfully arranged to enhance networking opportunities. Additionally, workshops are case-based and interactive, led by respected clinicians and educators, ensuring a practical and engaging educational experience for all participants.

See you at the conference!

Yours Sincerely,
Conference Chairperson
