Conference in Dubai on health regulations

Medical experts from around the world are coming together in Dubai next month for the 13th International Association of Medical Regulatory Authorities (IAMRA) conference to discuss emerging trends in the field and existing regulatory systems to strengthen the health sector.

Dubai Health Authority (DHA) will host the conference from October 6 to 9 in association with the 3rd Dubai Health Regulation Conference. This is the first time the event is being held in the UAE and the region,

IAMRA has 113 members from 47 countries and the organisation shares a common goal that patients should have access to highly qualified and competent medical staff.

Humaid Al Qutami, DHA Director-General, said regulation plays a major role in the healthcare industry.

“Healthcare regulations and standards are necessary to ensure compliance and to provide safe healthcare to every individual who accesses the system,” Al Qutami said.

“At DHA, we pay great emphasis to ensuring we have a robust regulatory system, which we have built with inputs from both the private and public health sector.”
