Dear Colleagues,

Welcome to the 14th Pan-Arab Transfusion Medicine Conference in Doha, Qatar, a landmark event focused on advancing transfusion services across the Arab region under the theme, "Inspiring Transfusion Excellence Across Arab Nations." Qatar was awarded the hosting rights for this conference by the Arab Authority for Blood Transfusion Services (AABTS) during its 2022 annual meeting in Morocco, where Qatar was also elected to preside over AABTS from 2023 to 2025. This organization, operating under the Council of Arab Health Ministers, plays a crucial role in facilitating knowledge exchange, setting regional standards, and fostering partnerships to drive progress in transfusion medicine.

We are proud to welcome the esteemed representatives of AABTS member states, distinguished speakers, and experts in the field of blood transfusion, who will share valuable insights and experiences. This conference aims to promote best practices that will enhance the quality and accessibility of transfusion services throughout the Arab world. By incorporating the latest research and guidelines into our practices, we can strengthen our services and improve healthcare delivery.

Thank you for being a part of this decisive conference. Your participation is vital to shaping the future of transfusion medicine and achieving our shared vision of exceptional patient care across Arab nations.
