Healthcare and Investment Leaders Gather in Dubai

By HospiMedica International staff writers
Posted on 02 Dec 2013
New models of healthcare delivery, investments, and finance are shaping the future of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) healthcare sector.

To discuss these issues, along with fresh developments in regulations, healthcare insurance and tourism, investors, operators, and regulators will convene at the inaugural Healthcare Investment MENA conference, which will take place in Dubai (UAE) on November 24–26, 2013, to gather insight into how to play a part in MENA's private healthcare boom.

The conference will provide insights into the challenges facing the healthcare sector, and how private investment can help the region achieve its goals of creating a system of quality healthcare that meets the population's needs.

To provide additional information to participants, the MENA Healthcare Investment and Expansion 2013 report, created with the assistance and guidance of Healthcare Investment MENA speakers, provides insights into the challenges that they face, the advice they would provide to new investors in the sector, and the key differentiators for building exceptional private healthcare facilities in the MENA region. The report also reveals key insights from veterans on the most profitable strategies for expansion and investment in the MENA region.

Speakers include participants from the UAE ministry of health (MOH), MOH Oman, MOH Bahrain, DHA, Saudi German Hospital Group, NMC Healthcare, DM Group, Anglo Arabian Healthcare, iCARE CLINICS by Landmark Group, Ithmar Capital, Gulf Capital, NBK Capital, ReAya Holding Company, CedarBridge Partners, Al Noor Hospitals Group, Moorfields Eye Hospital, Eternity Medicine Institute, Healthcare MENA, Waha Capital, and Global Capital Management Limited.

“The Middle East and the Gulf countries in particular, are seeing a boom in healthcare investment which is expected to continue with an accelerating speed for many years to come,” said H.E. Dr. Amin Hussain Al Amiri, assistant undersecretary for medical practice and license sector at the UAE MOH. “In the UAE alone, spending in the healthcare market is forecasted to grow more than 8% this year, to 31 billion AED.”

“In more developed Middle East healthcare systems, I see a lot more investment in preventive care in the next five years,” added Sami Alom, MD, of Al Noor Hospitals Group (Abu Dhabi, UAE; www.alnoorhospital.com). “Diabetes and obesity are two enormous challenges facing GCC governments, and there have not been significant investments in prevention yet.”

The 2013 Healthcare Investment MENA is supported by Colliers International (Seattle, WA, USA), Carmichael Fischer, Intersystems, Elsevier (Philadelphia, PA, USA), MENA Private Equity Association, and The Parthenon Group.
