Prehospital, critical care and emergency medicine experts from across the globe discussed best practices, controversies, and challenges in the different areas of EM.
 
The conference showcased presentations based on various themes such as resuscitation, disaster medicine, trauma, toxicology and research. In addition to the informative presentations and plenary sessions, several interactive and stimulating mini workshops and round-table discussions further enhanced knowledge sharing and networking opportunities for the delegates. In her talk, Dr. Rasha Buhumaid, President of ESEM, highlighted the utility of POCUS in resuscitation. ESEM is proud to be part of this landmark event.
