On behalf of the organizing committee, I would like to take this opportunity to welcome Ministry of Health Officials, Healthcare Leaders & providers, Executives, Clinicians, Radiation Oncology professionals, Hospital Administrators, fellows and students to the “International Proton Therapy Summit 2024” to be held in Doha, Qatar on Saturday, January 20, 2024.
Hamad Medical Corporation is collaborating with the Penn Medicine Department of Radiation Oncology, a group of pioneers and leaders in the field of Proton Therapy. Proton Therapy, with its ability to precisely target tumors while sparing normal tissue and vital organs, mitigates both acute and late side effects, including the risk of radiation-induced second cancers. These benefits are particularly profound when treating children and young adult cancer patients.
The one-day summit includes scientific sessions, panel discussions, patient stories, and discussions on the clinical rationale, physics, and administrative aspects of Proton Therapy.
We extend a heartfelt welcome to the Summit and look forward to seeing you all in Doha, Qatar.
Dr. Mohamed Salem Al Hassan
Chairman of Organizing Committee
CEO & Medical Director of NCCCR & Chairman of Corporate Cancer Service
