AIDA highlights skin diseases affecting millions

Delegates attending the 11th edition of the International Conference in Dermatology and Aesthetics (AIDA) in Abu Dhabi emphasised the significance of ongoing professional development for newly qualified medical practitioners, with a view to acquiring additional experience and refining their competencies.

Furthermore, emphasis was placed on the significance of providing support to newly qualified doctors through workshops to help them familiarise with the most recent developments in medical techniques, practices, and treatment methods.

They further help doctors acquire the skills necessary to utilise contemporary devices and technologies, thereby ensuring greater precision and safety in the delivery of treatment.

The participants further stressed the importance of organising scientific competitions for newly qualified doctors is vital, as they provide doctors with more knowledge and practical experience in the field of dermatology and aesthetics.

The speakers emphasised the significance of augmenting the utilisation of artificial intelligence in medical and plastic surgical contexts. They highlighted the potential of AI in medical practices to facilitate treatments that are more intelligent, secure, and dependable.

The conference’s scientific committee said that the discussions during the three-day sessions, which were attended by a group of top dermatology experts and specialists, focused on a group of skin diseases that affect the quality of life of millions of people around the world. The most common of these conditions are psoriasis, acne, alopecia areata and problems with general hair care.

These diseases are not just about how someone looks. They are serious long-term health problems that are often linked to the immune system. They need to be treated for a long time, and doctors need to have a lot of scientific knowledge.

As stated by the scientific committee of the conference, the discussions centred on pigmentation disorders, onychopathies, and most pertinently, cutaneous malignancies, which have become a significant public health concern in numerous regions. The conference highlighted the necessity for early diagnosis, public awareness, and effective treatment methods for this disease.

The committee also said that the conference focused on important things that medical practitioners need to know and provided an opportunity to review current developments in dermatology, helping to keep up to date with new research and clinical guidelines.
