The Algerian capital hosted the 17th National Congress of the Algerian Association of Private Internal Medicine Physicians, highlighting the need to shift from treating isolated diseases to understanding the holistic health status of the patient. Participants, led by Dr. Moualek Younes, emphasized that modern health challenges—such as metabolic disorders, diabetes, and obesity—require an integrated medical approach that looks beyond individual symptoms. The congress discussed the interconnections of chronic diseases and their impact on the heart, kidneys, liver, and cognitive functions, stressing the importance of continuous medical education to enhance care quality. Discussions also covered the role of modern therapies and lifestyle modifications in managing metabolic syndrome, reiterating that the ultimate goal of medical practice is to translate scientific knowledge into therapeutic decisions that place the patient at the center of the health process.
