Chairperson’s Welcome Note

I am pleased to welcome you all to the 3rd Kuwait HIV and Antimicrobial Therapy Conference. This is a landmark event in the joint effort to combat two of the most pressing health challenges of our era: the HIV epidemic and global antimicrobial resistance.

Our hospital has always been committed to advancing patient care, driving innovations and attracting outstanding partnerships. This conference is an opportunity for experts in the field, researchers and clinicians to learn about up-to-date evidence from around the world, exchange ideas and develop strategies applicable to practice.

HIV is still a public health threat that necessitates vigilance, empathy, and innovation. Simultaneously, antimicrobial resistance has been said to threaten medicine transformation and erode the hard-won gains of over a century in medicine making it one of the defining health security challenges of our time. By pressing ahead simultaneously, we acknowledge that both are in need of concerted action, advanced science and a dedication to equity and patient-centered care.

My sincere thanks to our honorable speakers, organizing committee and all of you which attending this conference, and all participants who are working together to make this conference a success. Your participation demonstrates our collective resolve to defend health, save lives, and build a more robust future for ID care.
