Another major in-person event opens in Dubai

Dubai is reinforcing its position as one of the world’s safest venues for international events.

As many as 1,500 exhibitors from 62 countries are showcasing the latest innovations and technologies at Arab Health and Medlab Middle East Exhibition and Congress, which opened in Dubai on Monday.

It was inaugurated by His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, President of Dubai Civil Aviation Authority, Chairman of Dubai Airports and Chairman and Chief Executive of Emirates Airline & Group.

Under the show’s theme of ‘United by Business - Driving the Industry Forward’, the co-located events will welcome more than 20,000 attendees during the four-day healthcare and laboratory showcases, which runs at the Dubai World Trade Centre until June 24.

The opening day saw the Ministry of Health and Prevention, the Emirates Health Services Establishment, the Dubai Health Authority and the Abu Dhabi Department of Health signing a bulk purchase agreement for medicines and medical supplies.

The pact aims to enhance cooperation in the procurement and purchase of medicines and medical supplies in line with applied policies and legislations, as well as ensure the efficiency of the supply chain and reduce cost.
