A new event, Saudi Health Exhibition and Conferences, is scheduled from May 12-14 in Riyadh.
Informa Life Sciences Exhibitions, organizer of Arab Health — described as the world's second largest health care exhibition — and Riyadh Exhibitions Company (REC), organizer of Saudi Medicare Exhibition for the last 15 years, have announced the launch of the new event.
This launch is based on the strategic cooperation of Informa Life Sciences Exhibitions and REC with the integration of the long running and successful Saudi Medicare Exhibition.
With the support of the Saudi Ministry of Health, the Saudi Health Exhibition and Conferences will integrate the know-how and experience from these two industry giants to create the largest international health care event in Saudi Arabia and to serve all aspects of this $ 20 billion multispectral industry.
Simon Page, managing director, Informa Life Sciences Exhibitions, said: "We are excited to become part of creating the most comprehensive health care event in KSA."
Page added: "With the partnership of Riyadh Exhibitions Company, we expect Saudi Health Exhibition to serve as the number one destination for business networking, clinical education and global partnerships that the Saudi health care industry has to offer. Our experience with the organization of health care events across the Middle East and Asia, coupled with Informa Group's extensive database with a global reach of more than 26 million, will ensure a successful and fruitful event for 2013."
The 2011 Saudi Medicare Exhibition was a great success with 152 exhibitors from 20 countries with more than 8,000 visitors, said Zeyad Al-Rukban, deputy general manager of REC.
Commenting on the launch of the Saudi Health Exhibition and Conferences, Salah Al- Mazroa, deputy minister for engineering affaires and supply, said: "The organizers of the Saudi Health are committed to ensuring that all of the scientific conferences presented as part of the event comprise valuable and up-to-date topics."
