In addition to hosting more than 40 dedicated national pavilions, the 43rd edition of the event showcasing the global healthcare industry in the Middle East, gives a truly international representation of hospital equipment, medical devices and medical technology on display at the exhibition. Occupying the entire exhibition space of the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre, Arab Health 2018 will enable companies to showcase progress and achievements in the sector, and help facilitate the exploration of new business opportunities in the global healthcare field. The exhibition also provides an important platform for the MENA healthcare industry to build relationships with international stakeholders.
From its inception 42 years ago in Dubai, UAE, as a small trade show under a tented canvas to its emergence and transformation as the MENA region’s foremost global healthcare industry platform and education hub, the Arab Health Exhibition and Congress enjoys the continuous patronage of healthcare professionals in the region and beyond.
Accompanying the exhibition will be 19 business, leadership and Continuing Medical Education (CME) conferences providing the very latest updates and insights into cutting-edge procedures, techniques and skills. Arab Health Congress 2018 is one of the largest multi-track medical conferences accredited to CME worldwide and will see the participation of more than 8,000 delegates and 500 speakers from the region and around the world as it aims to bridge the gap in medical knowledge.
