Arab Health Exhibition & Congress (Dubai, UAE) and MEDLAB Exhibition & Congress (Dubai, UAE), the largest healthcare shows in MENA, will be launched as stand-alone events next year, due to a significant increase in healthcare investment across the region.

MEDLAB also features 11 CME-accredited multi-disciplinary conference tracks covering topics such as laboratory management, molecular diagnostics and clinical chemistry. In 2016, Arab Health featured 4,187 exhibiting companies, while MEDLAB hosted 589 leading exhibitors.
The 42nd edition of the Arab Health Exhibition & Congress will now be held between January 30-February 2, 2017, showcasing more than 4,400 companies and attended by over 120,000 healthcare and trade professionals from 70 countries.
