Why healthcare was a focus in the Global Grad Show – ArabianBusiness

In a year that has been marked with the lingering effects of coronavirus, it is no wonder that healthcare and wellbeing were central themes in the Global Grad Show, with a third of the 150 shortlisted projects addressing the two areas.

This reflects the impact that the pandemic has had on the graduate students and is an increase from the number of projects that covered healthcare in the show’s previous edition, said Tadeu Baldani, director of Global Grad Show, an initiative by Art Dubai, which took place as part of Dubai Design Week earlier this month.

“The global pandemic has heightened our experience with healthcare and mental health. They have become unescapable topics in discussions about economic and social recovery, workforce productivity and healthier communities,” said Baldani.
