Etihad Airways Medical Center recently held its annual Aviation Health Conference, titled “Ophthalmology and Color Vision in Aviation,” which was attended by more than 120 medical professionals and international medical experts.
 
“Etihad Airways Medical Center organizes annual aviation health conferences to encourage collaboration among aviation medicine practitioners and health industry stakeholders both in the region and internationally,” Dr. Nadia Bastaki, Etihad Airways vice president medical services and senior aviation medical examiner, said.
