Dubai: The UAE health authorities have launched several innovative health projects in the 48th edition of Arab Health 2023 at the Dubai World Trade Center.
The Ministry of Health and Prevention (MoHAP), the Department of Health Abu Dhabi (DoH), and the Dubai Health Authority (DHA) are organising a host of innovative initiatives under a single platform dubbed “Emirates Health,” bringing the three entities under one roof.
The three bodies have jointly developed some projects on display as part of a unique national initiative to provide curative and digital health services aligned with the country’s strategy to establish a sustainable, flexible preventive health system.
Mr. Abdulrahman bin Mohamed Al Owais, Minister at MoHAP, described the health authorities’ collaboration under a unified national platform at Arab Health 2023.
The minister added that “this is the largest health conference in the region, demonstrating its commitment to developing a competitive, flexible, and effective healthcare sector that aligns with the UAE’s priorities and directions.”
Mr. Mansour Ibrahim Al Mansouri, Chairman of the DoH Abu Dhabi, shared that “under the directives of the wise leadership, the UAE has been able to successfully consolidate its position as a leading destination for healthcare and a hub for life sciences on the global stage.”
“It is a milestone reflected in the growing interest we continue to receive from international healthcare giants that seek to leverage the emirate’s ecosystem due to its advanced infrastructure, diverse population, and policies that support research, innovation, and business development,” Mr. Al Mansouri added.
According to Mr. Awad Saghir Al Ketbi, Director-General of the DHA, the collaboration creates a unified working model that aligns the efforts of the three entities towards realising health sustainability and other strategic goals of the UAE and its future aspirations. Mr. Al Ketbi further praised the strategic partnership between DHA, MoHAP, and DoH.
The global event further offers a platform to highlight the UAE’s quality achievements and latest developments in the field of health services. In addition, the conference offers exhibitors the opportunity to share their expertise and experiences, stay updated on the latest developments, and establish partnerships with international health institutions.
