RevIew Hospital Build Middle east
attract patients from around the world. This has resulted in the need for huge investment across the entire value chain of healthcare throughout the Middle East, from hospitals to primary clinics, and also more specialised treatment centres and laboratories. “The healthcare infrastructure in the
Middle East is under-developed,” said Dr Massoud Al-Razouki, CEO of Kleos Healthcare Corporation. “ Whereas the US and most OECD countries enjoy bed per population ratios of around four beds per thousand, most Middle East countries barely have bed/1000 ratios of above two. Using this rate as a proxy for the overall healthcare system, the Middle East can certainly afford to double its current healthcare infrastructure.” Dr Al-Razouki concluded that “intelligent investors will realise that healthcare opportunities exist beyond just building hospitals in more niche areas of specialised medicine that result in improving the quality of health services in the region.” Alongside the exhibition, seven highly successful conferences took place spanning a range of subjects related to healthcare infrastructure and management:
Hospital Design and Upgrade Leaders in Healthcare Imaging and Diagnostics Management Integrating business with Healthcare Technology
Surgery management Healthcare management Quality, Standards and Accreditation in Healthcare Over 500 delegates attended over the course of the event all looking for information and further education about topics specifically related to their speciality. “The conference gave a very good
overview of the future of healthcare in the GCC and globally in terms of the burden of chronic disease on healthcare systems, and where the focus for the future should be,” said Aileen Serle, Assistant Director of Nursing at the Sheikh Khalifa Medical Centre. Hospital Build is now a truly global event with sister shows taking place in Europe, China, India and Asia.
