The first scientific event of its kind in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, bringing together a select group of experts, physicians, and researchers from around the world to share the latest advancements in the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal and liver diseases.
A quick look at the congress experience — sessions, exhibitions, and the community behind it.
On behalf of the Scientific and Organizing Committees, it is my privilege to welcome you to the 3rd International Gastrointestinal Cancer Congress, taking place in Jeddah this October.
What began as a modest initiative has grown, in just a few editions, into a gathering that brings together clinicians, researchers, and specialists from across the region and beyond — united by a shared commitment to advancing the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal and liver diseases.
I am deeply grateful to our scientific committee, speakers, and partners, whose generosity of time and expertise has shaped a program we hope reflects the very best our field has to offer. None of this would be possible without them — or without you, our delegates, who give this congress its purpose.
I look forward to welcoming you in Jeddah.
