Record number of exhibitors set to attend Arab Health in Dubai
Region’s largest health care show opens Jan 30 themed ‘innovation and sustainability’
Arab Health, the Middle East’s largest healthcare exhibition and congress, will be held in Dubai from January 30 to February 2 at the Dubai World Trade Centre.
The exhibition will host more than 45 country pavilions, including, for the first time New Zealand, Singapore, Tunisia, Indonesia and Estonia. With more than 3,000 exhibitors taking part, there are over 51,000 healthcare professionals expected to attend the four-day event, which this year is being held under the theme of “innovation and sustainability in health care’ and follows a successful 2022 edition of Arab Health, which saw Dh2.8 billion worth of deals secured at the event, WAM reported.
Ross Williams, Exhibition Director for Informa Markets, said: “The UAE will again be the epicentre of the health care industry when Arab Health returns next week. We saw a solid bounce back in 2022, and 2023 is at around 97 per cent of pre-Covid-19 figures, underscoring the global demand, which is matched by buyers keen to witness first-hand the latest innovations and new technologies in the health care sector.
“With the increase in international pavilions, we are providing the ideal platform for the Mena health care industry to build relationships with stakeholders from around the world while reaffirming UAE’s position as a global health care hub.”
New features
The event will showcase a series of new features, including the Intelligent Health Pavilion in partnership with the Intelligent Health Association.
“This new feature will allow visitors to experience the most innovative and sustainable health care technologies, improving patient care,” said Williams.
Continuing the innovation theme, Arab Health will also host the second edition of the Future Health Summit at the Museum of the Future. The summit will look into the future of health and healthcare possibilities in the Metaverse. Several world-renowned industry leaders, visionaries, metaverse experts, authors, and futurists on the topic will offer their insights. The Innov8 Talks competition, running from February 30 to March 1, will provide 24 startups worldwide the opportunity to showcase their unique and innovative solutions benefiting the health care industry.
