— Employing best scientific activities
Middle East Genetic and Metabolic Academy (MEGMA) was established in July 2019 in order to promote the accurate diagnosis and care of patients affected by Genetic disorders and inborn errors of metabolism
Although a large number of patients with genetic and metabolic disorders exist in this region, there is a shortage of well-qualified geneticists in the majority of the Middle East areas.
We run different courses over the year including: basic genetics, basic inborn errors of metabolism courses, advance inborn errors of metabolism courses.
