A Decade of Innovation.

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his companions.

Distinguished guests, esteemed colleagues, ladies and gentlemen,

It is with great pride, pleasure, and gratitude that I welcome you to the 10th MEVAH Forum, as we gather to celebrate a remarkable milestone: ten years of knowledge, collaboration, friendship, and shared achievements.

Ten years ago, we embarked on a journey with a vision: to bring professionals together, exchange knowledge, inspire young minds, and advance our specialties.

Today, MEVAH has grown beyond a scientific forum. It has become a community, a meeting place for generations of professionals, and a platform where ideas are exchanged, friendships are formed, and collaborations begin.

Every year has brought new faces, new perspectives, and new opportunities. Yet, what has remained unchanged is the spirit of collegiality and the shared commitment to excellence that define this forum.

On this special occasion, I wish to express my deepest appreciation to our scientific and organizing committees, whose dedication and tireless efforts have made this conference possible.

My sincere gratitude also goes to the Saudi Otolaryngology Society (SORL) and the Saudi Society of Speech Language Pathology and Audiology (SSSPA) for their invaluable support and continued commitment throughout the years.

The success of MEVAH belongs to all of us. It belongs to the senior experts who have generously shared their wisdom, to the young professionals who bring fresh ideas and enthusiasm, and to every otolaryngologist, audiologist, speech-language therapist, and physical therapist who has contributed to this journey.

What makes this forum truly special is not only the knowledge we gain, but also the people we meet, the friendships we build, and the memories we carry with us.

Our achievements inspire us to pursue even greater ambitions, in alignment with the aspirations of our wise leadership under the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, and the transformative vision of His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, whose leadership and Saudi Vision 2030 continue to inspire innovation, excellence, and advancement in healthcare, education, and scientific research.

As we reflect with pride on the past decade, we look forward with optimism and determination to the years ahead.

To all our distinguished speakers, guests, colleagues, and friends: thank you for joining us, for sharing your expertise, and for being part of the MEVAH story.

May this tenth edition mark not only a celebration of our past, but also the beginning of an even brighter future.

May Allah bless our gathering, guide our efforts, and grant us continued success.

Thank you all, and once again, welcome to the 10th MEVAH Forum.
