FOREWORD ARAB HEALTH, ISSUE FIVE 2011
Welcome to the fifth issue of Arab Health magazine this year. As we look forward with great anticipation to the next instalment of the Arab Health
Exhibition and Congress here in Dubai, this issue aims to cover key developments, innovations and trends that are shaping the MENA healthcare sector today. As the second largest healthcare exhibition in the world, Arab Health is well placed geographically to take advantage of the exciting developments experienced by the Middle East health sector currently. Healthcare construction projects are
continuing across Gulf countries with a mixture of public, private and joint-venture initiatives. The aim is to address the needs of the patient, both local nationals and expatriates, and reduce the number of people who are going outside the region for medical treatment. With most states

developing many new hospitals and clinics, the long-term aim is to promote medical tourism between Gulf States rather than overseas, and also to attract patients from around the world. This issue provides you with a guide as to the importance of Arab Health as a landmark event in the global healthcare calendar, including country profiles from new country pavilions attending in 2012 for the first time, exhibitor profiles both old and new along with a comprehensive look at new trending topics among health professionals globally. I hope you enjoy this issue and I look
forward to welcoming you to Arab Health in Dubai in January 2012.
