The conference, the medical doctor added, will also provide a platform for the stakeholders to debate and stimulate inter-disciplinary discussions in the fields of trauma care and emergency response management.

Among the hundreds of stakeholders and professionals in the field of health that will grace the events include: Health Minister Osagie Ehanire, special guest of honour; Sen. Ibrahim Oloriegbe, Chairman Senate Committee on Health, keynote speaker; and Prince Julius Adewale Adelusi-Adeluyi, chairman Juli PLC and conference chairman.

The keynote speaker will address the topic Trauma Care: Way Forward while the panel of discussants will debate ‘Building Sustainable Trauma Care Systems in Nigeria (with emphasis on Low-Income Settings).
