About 40th SICOT Orthopaedic World Congresses

With doctors attending from all over the world, it is fitting that this is taking place here, in a region that has served as a focal point in the exchange of trade, knowledge, and culture between the east and west for millennia. Oman’s history dates back 5,000 years and it is the oldest country in the Gulf, with an empire that once controlled the seas from the straits of Hormuz to the coastlines of East Africa.

As the Congress is in collaboration with the Pan Arab Orthopaedic Association, we are expecting this to be one of the largest congresses to date, with doctors from all over the world gathering to share their experience. It will provide a golden opportunity for young orthopedic surgeons in the form of workshops, lectures, free paper sessions, symposia and presentations on recent advancements in orthopedics.
