Parkway specialists are flying to Dubai to share their areas of expertise in a bid to encourage sharing of medical knowledge during the congress and to reveal some of the cutting-edge procedures, which will be performed at Danat Al Emarat Hospital. Amongst the esteemed speakers from Singapore are Dr. Loh Foo Hoe and Dr. Christopher Chong. Dr. Loh worked in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, National University Hospital of Singapore for more than 17 years and prior to that he held the position of Associate Professor in the same university. Dr. Chong, a pioneer in prolapse and its treatment, is currently the Director of the Singapore Urogynae Centre at Gleneagles Hospital.
