Experts participating in the Advance Health forum believe that healthcare is going to drive the next decade of growth in the UAE.

The forum was organised by Dubai Science Park (DSP), a member of TECOM Group, in partnership with Synapse Medical Services, a healthcare administration company, and the participation of some key industry stakeholders, who gathered to explore the outlook of biotech innovation and research in the UAE.

The topic took its cue from the UAE’s prioritisation of expanding the healthcare sector as part of the Centennial 2071 project launched by the Cabinet, which aims to establish the UAE as the best country in the world by 2071.

Marwan Abdulaziz Janahi, Managing Director of Dubai Science Park, said, “The purpose of Advance Health is to bring our industry together to address challenging topics – interesting topics – and finding new solutions. Dubai Science Park business partners are expanding the dialogue and possibilities of pharmaceuticals, medical equipment, treatments and more. Creating a space where this community can meet, engage, exchange experiences and propose new ideas is essential
