Welcome Message​
​
Greetings!
On behalf of the organizing committee, it is my pleasure to invite you to attend the 5th International Paediatric Neurodisability & Neurorehabilitation Conference on May 8 - 9, 2025 in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
This 2-day event is designed to provide a high level, clinically significant updates and comprehensive trends relevant to the practice of Paediatric Neurodisability & Rehabilitation. Our knowledge on the manifestations of the disorders rapidly increases, yet, our understanding of the aetiology and pathogeneses, including early detection and early intervention, is still limited.
The conference will offer a superb opportunity for healthcare professionals to share their best practices, to network within the same group of interest, and to create and strengthen clinical collaborations.
We look forward in welcoming you to this conference!
