	Plenary Session: Developing Human Resources and Educational Facilities in the Middle East In the past few years, the introduction of modern technologies in healthcare has been entirely in private hands. The major institutions of the region must account for these developments and undertake as rapid of a transition as has the technology of the clinician himself. This session will explore these developments and opportunities from a survey perspective while looking forwards to the future of the healthcare of the region. Closing Session
