Welcome Message

Welcome to the GIS Annual Conference 2024!

We are delighted to extend our warm invitation to you to join us at the GIS Annual Conference 2024, the leading interventional cardiology event in the Gulf region.

The Gulf Intervention Society (GIS) was founded during a time when Gulf interventionists were gaining recognition and success on both regional and global fronts. Its inception aimed to unite efforts and insights towards common goals that benefit the public, states, and healthcare professionals through scientific advancement, research, and societal compatibility.

As part of the Gulf Heart Association, GIS actively encourages national and regional interventionists to become part of our society, welcoming their valuable contributions and active participation. We have also fostered a vision of collaboration between regional and international bodies in the field of Cardiovascular Intervention, enriching the global conversation.

At GIS, our founders and ambassadors share a profound responsibility – to patients, to society, to fellow physicians, and to healthcare professionals alike.

We gladly welcome you to our grand networking conference scheduled from the 28th to 30th of November 2024 at the Intercontinental Dubai Festival City in UAE. The GIS Executive Board and Scientific Committee has meticulously crafted a program that reflects our commitment to excellence, innovation, and the advancement of interventional cardiology.

We look forward to your participation, as together, we advance the frontiers of cardiovascular intervention and healthcare, making a positive impact on patient lives, one breakthrough at a time.
