Dear colleagues, dear friends

On behalf of the Emirates Endometriosis League and the faculty, it is my pleasure and honor to welcome you to the 11^th EMEL conference that will take place in Dubai on the 24-25^th January 2026.

Through the years of its foundation since 2014, the EMEL continues its mission and declared objectives- to spread awareness on endometriosis and adenomyosis, create consensus among clinicians on best practice based on scientific evidence, and merge national and international experience and collaboration between societies and medical experts on endometriosis and benign uterine disorders.

The challenges facing our medical community and patients with endometriosis and adenomyosis still range between delay and misdiagnosis, to the unavailability of centered care facilities for endometriosis and worst, overtreatment with incomplete and unwarranted surgical interventions leading to traumatizing patients and depriving them of quality of life and potential for future conception.

At the 11^th EMEL conference, a faculty of national, regional and international experts shall be presenting and debating facts and evidence on up-to-date information for the ultimate management of patients with endometriosis, adenomyosis and benign uterine disorders. All with the direct engagement and participation of the audience in keynote lectures, panel discussions, and open debates on a wide scope of clinical and scientific dilemmas and daily clinical cases.

Join us and be part of this important and essential event on January 24-25, 2026, in Dubai and make a difference for our patients suffering from endometriosis/adenomyosis while sharing the experience and knowledge of cutting-edge experts in this field.

Welcome to the 11^th EMEL Congress in Dubai 2026!

Ghassan Lotfi, M.D.

EMEL president
