Exhibition
For many years Arab Health was venue bound and took over the entire Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre. In 2010, that all changed with the addition of the new Sheikh Saeed halls to the existing space.

In 2014, the addition of the new hall Za’beel 4 accommodated more than 400 new companies, bringing together a total of 3,800 exhibiting companies from 64 countries showcased over 65,677 sqm of exhibition space.

The 2015 edition of Arab Health will accommodate 200 new exhibiting companies bringing together a total of 4,000 exhibiting companies, the new ‘Future of Surgery Centre’, the 2015 Arab Health Innovation & Achievement Awards, 18 CME-accredited conferences with 11,000 delegates, as well as an expected 95,000 visitors to the show.

Arab Health is supported by the UAE Ministry of Health, the Abu Dhabi Health Authority, the Dubai Health Authority and the Dubai Healthcare City Authority.

Congress
The Arab Health Congress is the world’s largest multi-track medical congress with 11,000 delegates expected from around the globe. Majority of the conferences are CME accredited.
