Under the slogan “Together for a Diabetes-Aware Society,” the College of Medicine at Warith Al-Anbiya University (peace be upon him) hosted a specialized scientific symposium on Friday, November 14, 2025. The symposium was organized by the Iraqi Society of Medical Pathologists in cooperation with the Al-Hassan Center for Endocrinology and Diabetes, and sponsored by Al-Riyada Al-Arabiya Company. It featured the participation of professors and researchers specializing in various scientific centers both within and outside Iraq.

The symposium reflected the college's commitment to promoting community health awareness and supporting scientific and medical efforts in combating diabetes, one of the most widespread diseases globally. The symposium was inaugurated by Professor Dr. Ali Abdul Saadoun Al-Ghazi, Dean of the College of Medicine, who emphasized in his opening remarks the vital role of academic institutions in disseminating health education and encouraging specialized scientific research.

The symposium was held across two scientific sessions that addressed precise and advanced topics in diabetes care. These included discussions on food dosage adjustment strategies using the DAFNE methodology, the latest advanced methods for treating TSH-resistant hypothyroidism, and research insights into the future of beta cells in type 1 diabetes, exploring whether they are dormant or regenerative. The lectures also covered the laboratory applications of HPLC technology for precise analysis, as well as discussions on hormone tests such as macroprolactin, a reassessment of the accuracy and interpretation of HbA1c, and advanced studies on thyroid function tests in pregnant women and mixed types of diabetes (combining type 1 and type 2). Furthermore, the latest global devices used in evaluating diabetes tests were showcased, including the advanced Lifotronic devices for HbA1c analysis.

The symposium concluded with the distribution of participation certificates and a group photo, reflecting the College of Medicine's commitment to scientific events that enrich medical knowledge and support its mission of serving the community and advancing specialized academic research.
