For example, one of the interesting sessions on October 9 is titled ‘Putting the patient at the center: coordinating health and social outcomes.’ Hosted by Merative and Obeikan, it will address how the complex health management needs of communities in light of rising costs, ageing populations, and growth in chronic diseases can be managed.
Solenne Singer, Group Director, Informa Markets, said: “Saudi Arabia is a vital contributor to the growth of the global healthcare industry. In line with Saudi Vision 2030, the Kingdom has quickly progressed in terms of developing its healthcare infrastructure, enabling it to become one of the most advanced digital health hubs in the region and worldwide. We are confident about Global Health Exhibition facilitating this progress and helping the country achieve its objectives. Through our strategic agenda at Global Health and the participation of several leading healthcare organisations, we are striving to pave the way for the Kingdom’s continued success in this sector.”
