Prof.Hussein Abdel Hamid , the director of CTC did a very god job to make success for CTC and the congress . We will never forget the help of Prof.Jehan El Fandi ,dean of Theodor Bilharz institute to establish the centre with prof. Ibrahim Mostafa .

I would like to seize this opportunity to thank OMGE President prof. Tytgat and the past president of OMGE   Prof. M.Classen and OMGE vice president  prof. E.Quigley for their unlimited help to establish CTC .

  World Organization of Gastroenterology (OMGE) supported our CTC and the  congress with ideas, science and finance. OMGE invited an elite group of international speakers to   enrich this great event. A special program for CTC trainee was included .

 The scientific program was tailored by prof. Shuokry Hunter with assistance of prof.

The program matches with the advances in science and  technology in gastroenterology and hepatology  .A special program and training for young clinicians  and scientists are included  .
