DUBAI: More than 3,000 companies from 70 countries are expected to take part in the 2023 edition of Arab Health, which is set to take place early in the new year, Emirates News Agency reported.
According to its organizers, Informa Markets, the event will have the theme “Innovation and Sustainability in Healthcare” and run from Jan. 30 to Feb. 2 at the Dubai World Trade Center, it said.
The exhibition, which last year attracted just over 2,800 companies, will feature nine product sectors showcasing the latest technology and innovations in disposables, orthopedics, health care and general services, imaging, medical devices, IT, wellness and prevention, and infrastructure and assets.
According to Ross Williams, exhibition director at Informa Markets, the event helps to address health care challenges and showcase initiatives undertaken by the UAE government to support the health care ecosystem.
“Arab Health has an instrumental role in bringing together regional and international policy drivers, thought leaders and health care professionals through trade and innovation,” he said.
“Arab Health 2022 welcomed over 53,000 attendees from 184 countries and … concluded deals worth over AED 2.8 billion ($762.3 million). This underscores the importance of the event for a global health care audience.”
Next year’s event will also feature the Transformation Zone — where startups and innovators can showcase their products and talk about the future of the industry — as well as 10 Continuing Medical Education conferences that are set to attract 3,200 delegates and 550 speakers from around the world.
Conferences on internal medicine, pediatrics, and anesthesia and pain management will be new additions in 2023.
Arab Health, which will be powered by renewable energy, plays a key role in supporting UAE government initiatives such as “Make it in the Emirates,” a platform for developing the industrial sector and enhancing its role in the national economy by focusing on 11 priority sectors, including pharmaceuticals and medical technology.
