The Department of Health – Abu Dhabi (DoH), has announced that it will organise the first Abu Dhabi Global Healthcare Week (ADGHW) from 13–15 May 2024 at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre in the UAE.
ADGHW will welcome international heads of state, government ministers and trade delegations, policymakers, and medical practitioners to the city to address global healthcare needs.
The theme for the first event will be ‘Transforming the Future of Global Healthcare’ and fostering a comprehensive healthcare ecosystem.
The event aims to provide a platform to foster dialogue, share knowledge, and drive investment – focused on healthcare for all.
Centred on four key pillars – reimagining healthcare, diverse and inclusive health, trailblazing medical breakthroughs and disruptive healthcare – the conference will provide a forum for the fields of genomics, digital and mental health, biotech, pharmaceuticals, research, innovation, investment, startup ecosystems, and more.
His Excellency Mansoor Ibrahim Al Mansouri, Chairman of the Department of Health – Abu Dhabi, said: “We believe that ADGHW will be an ideal platform for the global healthcare community to discuss the industry’s future at a time when the UAE is driving transformation and opportunities on a fast track towards the future.
“We welcome the global healthcare industry, including the most thought-provoking disruptors, influencers and strategists to join us at Abu Dhabi Global Healthcare Week in 2024 to improve global healthcare delivery, build future preparedness, and form a vision of what end-to-end healthcare will look like in a changing geopolitical, technical, and environmental landscape.”
The event will also host two awards programmes: The Philanthropy Awards and the Healthcare Innovation Awards to recognise individuals and organisations pushing the boundaries of global healthcare.
ADGHW will also feature a dedicated trade exhibition.
