'I’m very lucky to have the opportunity to come to this conference. I have learned a lot by listening to the presentations and by interacting with people from other countries and from other universities and I now have the full picture in my mind. 

Back home in my country I will be sharing everything that I have seen and learned here and this will help us to treat our CML patients in the right way and to better serve our patients. (Dr Owais Ali, Pakistan)
