As the sector continues to evolve, Arab Health stands as a vital platform for connecting ideas, technologies, and people shaping the future of healthcare.”

This year, Arab Health, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 27 – 30 January, will host over 40 country pavilions, and more than 180 countries will participate. Making their country pavilion debut in 2025, Morocco and Latvia will be joined by long-standing participants, the United Kingdom and Saudi Arabia, which will increase their presence significantly with additional floor space.
