GAED Founders

In 2012 a group of endocrinologists led by a Bahraini endocrinologist, Dr Wiam Hussein, thought of organizing themselves into a body to support and advocate for patients in our communities. Gulf chapter of six countries was formed after members elections to the officers and board members. The vision was to foster educational programs that allow the highest quality of patient care.

In 2020, The AACE decided to close all USA national chapters and international chapters across the world. Hence the name changed from Gulf Chapter to Gulf Association of Endocrinology and Diabetes. The same Board of directors continue and used the same bylaws.
