GE Healthcare will leverage its participation at Arab Health 2013, the Middle East region’s healthcare exhibition and conference, to put the spotlight on the need for more effective and responsive health care solutions for a healthier world, through a greater public and private sector collaboration.

GE Healthcare will showcase its comprehensive range of healthcare solutions aimed at promoting clinical confidence, patient comfort, productivity, connectivity and patient care at the event in the Dubai International Convention Center, Dubai, from Jan. 28 to 31, 2013. These technologies are designed to complement the region’s efforts to address the rising incidence of lifestyle diseases, covering oncology, cardiology and women’s health.

GE Healthcare, the platinum sponsor of Arab Health, will also present its diverse portfolio of solutions and service offerings to support the region’s efforts to strengthen health care infrastructure and address customer needs.

Maher Abouzeid, GE Healthcare’s president and CEO for the Middle East and Pakistan, said: “This year marks our largest presence at Arab Health with technologies that have been designed to address the challenges faced by the region. The exhibition will serve as a strong platform for us to stimulate discussion among health care experts, engage and interact with our customers, and highlight our global healthymagination initiative.”

GE Healthcare’s stand will present its wide range of health care solutions, across all specialties, especially highlighting the features and user experience of GE Healthcare’s positron emission tomography (PET CT) technology.

The new solutions being introduced include the Silent Scan MR, which reduces MR system noise to unprecedented, near ambient levels; Centricity PACS and PACS-IW with universal viewer that put a wealth of data and clinical insight within radiologists’ reach to improve efficiency and the new SnapShot Freeze technology, which can help significantly reduce coronary motion and overcome the inherent limitation of all hardware-only solutions.
