EHA-LSHBT Virtual Hematology Updates, a Successful Course Tailored for the Region!
March – October 2021
In a series of six webinar courses chairs Gianluca Gaidano (EHA) and Ali Taher (LSHBT) were joined by several experts that gave lectures and interactive patient cases to practitioners who manage patients with benign and hematologic malignancies. The course provided participants with practical tools to translate emerging data into the best therapy for their patients, to personalize care, and to apply novel treatment strategies to improve patient outcomes.
The Hematology Updates were initiated by EHA and the Lebanese Society of Hematology and Blood Transfusion (LSHBT) and took place live from March to October. The series which included six 2,5 hours courses, contained one session focused on non-malignant hematology and a second session dedicated to malignant hematology disorders. The aim of the meeting was to provide up-to-date information regarding current and new standards of care in the treatment of non-malignant and malignant hematologic disorders. Experts discussed the latest advances in malignant and non-malignant hematology that will help improve patient outcomes and quality of life. Moreover, we looked into key advancements in the management of certain hematological disorders. In the end the complete course covered the topics β-Thalassemia & CLL
ID/IDA & ALL, Anticoagulation & AML, Thrombosis & MPN, Bleeding disorders & Multiple myeloma and
Hemophilia & Lymphoma. An interesting new feature during the Hematology Updates were the pre- and post-questions, so each participant could assess if there was a transfer of knowledge.
Although the webinar was targeted towards hematologists in North Africa & Middle East, participants also joined from Asia, Australia, Europe, North- and South-America. The participation from hematologists all over the world shows the importance of the course.
