As I reflect on my recent trip to Jordan to attend the Second Middle East Enteral and Parenteral Nutrition Congress in Amman, I am filled with gratitude for the wonderful experiences that I had during my time there.
Firstly, I would like to express my deep appreciation to Fresenius Kabi for providing me with the opportunity to attend such a prestigious event. Your commitment to promoting education and professional development in the field of clinical nutrition is truly commendable, and I feel privileged to have been part of it.
The congress itself provided valuable insights into the latest advancements in our field through the sharing of clinical updates and thought-provoking discussions.
However, beyond just academic pursuits, my stay in Jordan proved to be memorable due to the warm hospitality extended by the locals.
Of course, no journey to Jordan would have been complete without exploring the country's famed landmarks. My visits to the breathtaking ancient city of Petra and experiencing the unique sensation of floating effortlessly in the Dead Sea remain etched forever in my mind as unforgettable moments.
