I have devoted my career to Otolaryngology, over the past 20 years I have dedicated myself to the pursuit of excellence in this diverse field.

As MEAOHNS Chairperson, I intend to closely collaborate with all core subspecialties in ORL, to ensure a well-organized and global coverage. I will also continue the development of MEAOHNS outstanding scientific program and research opportunity and have diverse sessions focusing on the young physicians in ORL.
