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.

Arab Health Exhibition & Congress, the largest healthcare event in the Middle East, is organized by Informa Life Sciences Exhibitions (Dubai, UAE) and provides a platform for the world’s leading manufacturers, wholesalers and distributors to meet the medical and scientific community in the Middle East and subcontinent. The Arab Health Congress features Continuing Medical Education (CME) accredited conferences, which are attended by more than 8,000 delegates from around the world, with international speakers covering a broad spectrum of medical specialties and disciplines.

Similarly, MEDLAB Exhibition & Congress is the world’s largest medical laboratory exhibition and congress, and provides a platform for laboratory industry leaders, including manufacturers, dealers and distributors, to share best practices, showcase new innovations, collaborate and network. 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. The Congress will also feature 14 CME-accredited conferences with international speakers on topics such as emergency medicine, oncology and workforce empowerment, and will be attended by more than 8,000 delegates from around the globe.

Meanwhile, the 16th edition of MEDLAB will be held February 6-9, 2017, and attended by over 30,000 laboratory and trade professionals from across different continents. MEDLAB 2017 will features 11 multi-disciplinary conferences offering up to 28 CME credits that will be led by globally recognized speakers on various topics such as laboratory management, microbiology, immunology and clinical chemistry. This year's congress will introduce five new tracks specializing in blood transfusion medicine, laboratory informatics and updates in clinical diagnostics of cardiology and diabetes, enabling the correlation of roles between laboratory professionals and clinicians.
