WELCOME TO BEIRUT!
Dear Colleagues and Friends,
On behalf of the Lebanese Society of Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology
(LSIDCM) and ESCMID, we would like to invite you to the 18th LSIDCM congress that will
be held on March 1-3, 2017 at the Phoenicia Hotel – Beirut, Lebanon.
The congress shall host a group of leading experts from the region and the world, who
will provide an opportunity to learn about state of the art issues and novelties in the field
of infectious diseases. The program includes several current topics in both infectious
diseases and clinical microbiology, with CME credits provided.
The importance of this event, in addition to its scientific and medical scope, is the
creation of close relationships and social links between colleagues in Lebanon and the
Arab World, in addition to meeting world experts in their respective fields of interest.
We look forward to seeing you in Beirut!
