Several significant investments in the healthcare sector in the Kingdom will lead to building a more vibrant and prosperous health economy, providing improved services, greater research opportunities, doing business and delivering care throughout the Kingdom by achieving the highest levels of excellence in health care, in line with the foundations and objectives of the Saudi Vision 2030.

A Ministry of Health spokesperson said: “The Ministry of Health will host the in-person edition of the Global Health Exhibition this year, which will allow participants to witness the latest healthcare innovations closely. We look forward to meeting all the participants in person to highlight the most pressing challenges in the healthcare field. We will work together to find solutions to address them through cooperation, support and empowerment.”

The forum will host five conferences, including four Continuing Medical Education (CME) conferences such as Public Health, Quality Healthcare, The Future of Medical Laboratories and Radiology. This year's event will include the Leaders Forum, which aims to enable meaningful dialogue between thought leaders and government officials on achieving Saudi Vision 2030, driving digital transformation in the healthcare sector, enhancing access to medicines and technologies, leadership and governance.

It is noteworthy that the event returns this year to provide an ideal platform for the healthcare community in the region and the world to meet, exchange views and highlight the qualitative transformation witnessed by the booming healthcare sector in the Kingdom.
