Due to the significant increase in healthcare investment across MENA, the region’s two largest healthcare shows – Arab Health and MEDLAB Exhibitions & Congresses – are being launched as two stand-alone events that will take place consecutively during January and February next year.
In 2016, Arab Health, the largest
healthcare event in the Middle East, featured 4,187 exhibiting companies and
will now showcase in excess of 4,400 companies at the 2017 event. MEDLAB, the
world’s largest medical laboratory exhibition and congress hosted 589 leading
exhibitors last year and will now welcome over 700 participating companies,
from 38 countries demonstrating a truly international base of suppliers.
“The UAE alone is experiencing fast expansion
in the medical device, healthcare IT and medical education fields. At Informa
Life Sciences Exhibitions, we aim to provide delegates, visitors and exhibitors
a tailored experience for their specific areas of focus in a technological
evolving scene,” said Simon Page, Managing Director, Informa Life Sciences
Exhibitions, Middle East.
“MEDLAB and Arab Health bring
together stakeholders and experts from around the world to showcase the latest
in healthcare technology and techniques. Separating Arab Health and MEDLAB
gives attendees a deeper understanding of different areas of healthcare, and an
opportunity to specifically hone in on areas that are of interest to them,” Simon
Page continued.
The 42nd edition
of the Arab Health Exhibition & Congress 2017 takes place between 30th
January and 2nd February 2017 with the exhibition expecting more
than 120,000 healthcare and trade professionals attending from 70 countries.
The Congress includes 14 conferences with
international speakers on topics such as emergency medicine, oncology and
workforce empowerment. The conferences offer CME accreditation and will be
attended by more than 8,000 delegates from around the globe.
The 16th edition
of MEDLAB takes place from
6th - 9th February 2017 and is expecting to welcome over
30,000 laboratory and trade professionals from all continents. During the four-day
event, 11 multi-disciplinary conferences offer up to 28 CME credits that will
be led by globally recognised speakers on topics including laboratory
management, microbiology, immunology and clinical chemistry. While
incorporating new tracks specialising in blood transfusion medicine, laboratory
informatics and updates in clinical diagnostics of cardiology and diabetes, enabling
the correlation of roles between laboratory professionals and clinicians.
