At Dana Dairy, we believe in more than just providing high-quality nutrition—we believe in building communities, empowering healthcare professionals, and fostering lasting international partnerships. This belief was brought to life recently through a landmark event in Turkey, organized by GAF Medical, the official distributor of DANALAC products in Saudi Arabia. This exclusive program brought together distinguished Saudi Arabian doctors for a multi-day event rich in science, culture, and collaboration.
Representing Dana Dairy at this special occasion was Arnaud Foulon, our dedicated Key-Account Manager, who was warmly welcomed by the event participants. His presence underscored the value Dana Dairy places on deep engagement and ongoing support to partners and medical professionals around the world.
A Unique Scientific and Cultural Exchange
Held in the stunning Black Sea region of Turkey, the event was more than a conference—it was a memorable experience. The doctors invited by GAF Medical were treated not only to in-depth scientific sessions but also to the peaceful beauty of Hamsiköy and Uzungöl during guided tours. Throughout the program, the guests were introduced to the full nutritional spectrum and benefits of DANALAC infant formulas, cereals, and goat milk formulas, all in accordance with European standards of quality and safety.
The scientific agenda, carefully crafted for the medical attendees, included talks on pediatric nutrition, infant formula formulation, and the role of goat milk in addressing sensitive digestive systems. Guest speakers, all specialists in their fields, delivered insightful presentations that highlighted the research-based formulation behind DANALAC products.
Warm Welcomes and Elegant Branding
From the moment of arrival, attendees were enveloped in hospitality. Personalized airport pick-up signs, branded bus and hotel materials, and DANALAC-themed welcome letters made each guest feel quite special.
One of the highlights of the event was a gala dinner, where DANALAC’s identity was beautifully showcased. The evening featured a specially crafted DANALAC-themed cake that served as a delightful centerpiece, symbolizing the unity and shared mission between DANALAC, GAF Medical, and the attending medical professionals.
Expert Insights from Esteemed Speakers
The scientific agenda of the event was further enriched by a lineup of distinguished speakers who brought valuable expertise and clinical insights to the forefront. Notably, Dr. Mohamed Alorabi (Consultant Pediatrician), Dr. Mohammad Tarek (Neonatologist), Dr. Basel Alsahhar (Pediatric Gastroenterologist), Dr. Hesham Hariri (Consultant in Pediatric Allergy and Immunology), and Dr. Abdullah Alotaibi (Pediatrician and Public Health Specialist) took center stage, sharing their extensive knowledge in pediatric health and nutrition.
These renowned pediatricians and child nutrition experts from Saudi Arabia shared their experiences and perspectives on infant feeding practices, the clinical benefits of goat milk formulas, and nutritional approaches tailored to sensitive digestive systems.
Their presentations emphasized the increasing relevance of high-quality infant nutrition products like DANALAC in addressing key health concerns such as lactose intolerance, colic, and immune development. The interactive format allowed for engaging discussions, Q&A sessions, and a mutual exchange of knowledge between the speakers and attendees.
A Message of Partnership and Appreciation
Each attending doctor received a beautifully designed welcome letter, personally addressing their participation and emphasizing the value of their role in children’s health. At the conclusion of the event, DANALAC and GAF Medical presented custom appreciation shields (in Arabic) to the speakers—a token of gratitude for their continued support and their commitment to infant care and development.
This event served as a celebration of the strong partnership between DANALAC and GAF Medical, and a clear demonstration of our shared vision to bring optimal nutrition to infants and young children across Saudi Arabia and beyond.
Looking Ahead
This event is part of Dana Dairy’s wider strategy to reinforce trust and credibility within the medical community, particularly in regions where infant nutrition is a growing concern. With GAF Medical’s on-the-ground expertise and local insight in Saudi Arabia, and with the continued scientific backing of DANALAC, we are confident in our joint mission to be a first-choice brand for pediatricians and parents alike.
As Arnaud Foulon noted during the program, “It’s a privilege to work side-by-side with such passionate and skilled medical professionals. Their feedback inspires our innovation, and their trust empowers our presence.”
