The GSM Meeting is the premier sleep meeting and platform for networking with sleep healthcare professionals in the Middle East region.

This year’s meeting was attended by over 140 healthcare professionals—the most in its almost decade-long run. Distinguished speakers and key opinion leaders were invited from the United States, Europe and the Middle East, enriching the scientific content of the meeting. Multiple workshops and research presentations were carried out during both days, and attendees were eligible to receive 10 CME.

These new solutions gained great momentum and strong attention by most healthcare professionals in attendance—sure to be a boon for Philips leadership position in Middle East markets going forward.
