The Gulf Heart Association (GHA), in association with Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC), proudly announces the 17th Gulf Heart Association Conference, taking place from 20–22 November 2025 at the Sheraton Grand Doha Resort & Convention Hotel in Doha, Qatar.

This prestigious annual event is recognized as a key platform for advancing cardiovascular care in the Gulf region. The 2025 conference is officially a CPD Accredited Conference – Category 1, offering a total of 17.00 CPD credit hours, making it a vital opportunity for medical professionals seeking to stay current with the latest developments in cardiovascular medicine.

Founded in 2002, the Gulf Heart Association is the region’s leading non-profit organization dedicated to promoting excellence in cardiology and cardiovascular surgery. Its mission includes fostering professional education, supporting scientific research, and advocating for heart disease prevention across the GCC.

The 17th edition of the conference is expected to be its most comprehensive yet, featuring over 80 speakers, including internationally renowned experts and a distinguished local faculty from across the Gulf and Middle East. Attendees will gain access to cutting-edge research, clinical updates, and hands-on insights across a wide range of cardiovascular topics, including:

• Interventional cardiology
• Heart failure and advanced therapies
• Electrophysiology and rhythm disorders
• Cardiovascular imaging
• Preventive cardiology and risk factor management
• Cardiac surgery and hybrid procedures
• Women’s heart health and gender-specific care

The scientific program will include plenary sessions, focused symposia, clinical workshops, and abstract presentations, creating a rich and engaging learning environment for clinicians, researchers, and allied health professionals.

The collaboration with Hamad Medical Corporation, Qatar’s leading public healthcare provider, strengthens the event’s clinical relevance and reflects the shared regional commitment to improving cardiovascular outcomes. HMC’s involvement ensures the alignment of conference themes with real-world health priorities and patient care needs.

In addition to its scientific agenda, the conference plays a crucial role in building regional and international partnerships. Over the years, the GHA conference has become a hub for collaboration among cardiologists, cardiovascular surgeons, and healthcare institutions, helping to drive progress through shared knowledge and innovation.

Importantly, the conference also supports the next generation of cardiovascular specialists, offering a platform for young researchers and early-career physicians to present their work, receive feedback, and connect with mentors and peers.

The choice of Doha as the host city reflects Qatar’s growing prominence in the field of healthcare and medical education. The Sheraton Grand Doha provides a world-class venue, ideally suited for a high-level scientific gathering of this scale.

With heart disease remaining a leading cause of death globally and in the region, the GHA continues to emphasize the importance of education, prevention, and policy development. The annual conference is a reflection of that mission in action — promoting excellence and uniting professionals with a shared goal: improving heart health for all.
