Successfully, the Egyptian chapter of Egyptian Society of Neurology organized the 2nd Egyptian Movement Disorders Conference & School in Alexandria, the charming “second capital” of Egypt. The conference was supported by MDS-African Section, with the invitation of three international experts: professors Wassilos Meissner, Christos Ganos, and  Zakiyah Aldaajani, in addition to the Egyptian faculty.  

The preconference school in the first day comprised of basic and comprehensive lectures on hypokinetic and hyperkinetic movement disorders, presented by nationally and internationally recognized movement disorder experts, followed by a grand round featuring two in-person patients and patient video cases from different Egyptian universities.
