Together we have helped in the creation of ARLAR and we have revived the Pan Arab Rheumatology. The Moroccan Society for Rheumatology is proud to welcome the first Pan Arab Rheumatology Congress in its new form ARLAR 2016, jointly organized with its 26th National Annual Congress. We are honored to have the privilege of organizing this event under the high patronage of his majesty the King Mohammed VI. Now as we work further towards fulfilling the stated mission of ARLAR I would like to reach out to you once again, friends and colleagues, to ask for your continued support in the Congress of Marrakech as it is the continuation of what we successfully achieved together. ARLAR 2016 promises to be a fine blend of science between the east and west of Arabic countries. On my behalf and on behalf of Moroccan organizers, I am delighted to welcome our rheumatology colleagues from the Arab world in Marrakech in 2016. The choice of Marrakech was unanimous due to its excellent position in the world which can welcome huge events and that are also attractive to tourists. Marrakech gathers an important medical, scientific and university community of not only the Arab world but also of the Asian, European and American worlds. During three days, about 800 colleagues, speakers and professionals of the pharmaceutical industry will participate in the in-service training and the consolidation of the partnership between rheumatology professionals and the research world encased within the Arab world. This is an opportunity to share and discuss the latest news of rheumatology. Our specialty knows, indeed in recent years a wonderful progress. Better knowledge of the causes and mechanisms of many rheumatic diseases allowed offering innovative and effective treatments and now we can see clearly the benefits for our patients. Once again, this Congress does not only encourage the Young Arab Rheumatologists, but is also a platform for all Rheumatologists in the region to join and share their constructive views and significant expertise. I look forward to being able to personally greet you once again. Thanking you in advance, Dr. Jamal Al Saleh President of the Emirates Society for Rheumatology and past President of ARLAR Besides its scientific excellence through the conferences held by eminent Arabic and foreign speakers, this meeting is the occasion to highlight the research works led by Arabic departments of rheumatology.

We also take on initiatives from societies, individuals, and others stakeholders. The mission of ARLAR is to represent Arab Rheumatologists as one of the top regional rheumatology leagues in patient care, research, and education and promote joint and bone health and care through: • Knowledge transmission, including dissemination of research and encouragement of best practices • Professional development and leadership in health policy ARLAR, re-established in 2014 from the biennial meeting of Pan Arab Rheumatology, in its current iteration, has organizational roots reaching back to 1995. The goals of the ARLAR include advancing professional camaraderie, research and training to improve the health of Arabs with rheumatic diseases. The ARLAR is composed of over 500 members throughout all 22 Arab League countries. As of today, ARLAR comprises seventeen Rheumatology Associations. Vision To be an internationally recognized, regional professional league. Objectives • To nourish previous achievements of Pan Arab Rheumatology League • To facilitate the growth of the Pan Arab Rheumatology League • To reset the Pan Arab Rheumatology long term goals for the next decade to position the league as an internationally recognized scientific and professional power.

ARLAR Congress – Marrakech / 24-26 March 2016 www.arlar.org 17 ARLAR Arab League Against Rheumatism Mot de Bienvenue Mot de Bienvenue Chers collègues, Chers partenaires, Chers partenaires, En tant qu’ancien président, je tiens à vous remercier de nouveau pour votre contribution au succès du Congrès PARC qui s’est tenu à Dubaï en 2014. Ensemble, nous avons créé ARLAR et fait revivre la rhumatologie panarabe. La Société Marocaine de Rhumatologie est fière d‘accueillir le 1er Congrès Panarabe de Rhumatologie dans sa nouvelle forme sous la bannière ARLAR 2016, organisé conjointement avec son 26e Congrès National Annuel, et pour lequel elle a le privilège de recevoir le Haut Patronage de Sa Majesté le Roi Mohammed VI. Alors que nous travaillons pour l’accomplissement de la mission d’ARLAR, je m’adresse à vous, amis et collègues, pour vous demander de renouveler votre soutien pour le Congrès de Marrakech. Il s’agit de la continuation de ce que nous avons déjà accompli ensemble. ARLAR 2016 promet d’être un fin mélange de science entre les pays arabes de l’est et ceux de l’ouest. En mon nom et en celui des organisateurs marocains, je suis ravi de souhaiter la bienvenue à nos collègues rhumatologues du monde arabe à Marrakech en 2016. Marrakech, dont le choix a fait l’unanimité de par sa place au diapason mondial des villes d’accueil des grandes manifestations et d’attractivité touristique, réunit aujourd’hui une communauté médicale, scientifique et universitaire importante du Monde Arabe, mais aussi d’Asie, d’Europe, et d’Amérique du Nord. Durant 3 jours, près de 800 collègues, orateurs et professionnels de l’industrie pharmaceutique, participent à la promotion de la formation continue et à la consolidation du partenariat entre les professionnels de la rhumatologie et la recherche au sein du monde arabe. C’est l’occasion de partager et discuter les dernières actualités de la rhumatologie. Notre spécialité connaît, en effet depuis quelques années un essor formidable. La meilleure connaissance des causes et des mécanismes de nombreuses maladies rhumatismales devant lesquelles la médecine était impuissante a permis de proposer des traitements innovants et efficaces dont nous apprécions aujourd‘hui le bénéfice sur nos malades. Une fois de plus, ce Congrès n’encourage pas seulement les jeunes rhumatologues arabes mais se veut aussi être une plateforme de partage pour tous les rhumatologues de la région, afin de partager opinions et expertise. Dans l’attente de vous accueillir à Marrakech, je vous remercie par avance. Dr. Jamal Al Saleh Président de la Société des Rhumatologues des Emirats et ancien président de ARLAR En plus de son niveau scientifique élevé à travers des conférences d‘enseignement prodiguées par d‘éminents orateurs arabes et étrangers, ce congrès offre également un très bon espace de mise en valeur des divers travaux de recherche menés par des services de rhumatologie arabes, au travers de séances de communication orales ou affichées. Je vous souhaite à tous un excellent congrès et un agréable séjour!
