Throughout the tradeshow, the European companies leveraged the opportunity to network with healthcare professionals and like-minded counterparts around MENA region.
Bringing together experts from all major medical disciplines, Arab Health 2023 gathered almost 60 000 attendees with more than 4000 exhibitors from 163 countries, delivering a platform to cutting-edge technology and the latest innovation designed to tackle the most pressing health challenges.
