In the modern era of medicine, staying updated doesn't always mean flying across the globe. Thanks to hybrid conferences and digital platforms, doctors can now bring world-class knowledge directly into their local practice without leaving their patients.
At Children’s Gastroliver Center, we believe that to treat your children effectively, we must never stop learning. Between January 1st and February 4th, 2026, Dr. Rafia Rashid participated virtually in three major international summits, connecting with specialists from Thailand, Japan, and the USA to refine her skills.
