Muscat, Oman, 16 June 2014—Leveraging the encouraging response and support to the 2013 Oman Health Exhibition and Conference from the business, government and public sectors, organizer Omanexpo is preparing to hold a much-bigger show this year.
The fourth edition will be held from September 9 to 11 at the Oman International Exhibition Center.
The 2013 edition saw the rewarding results of a year’s effort by Omanexpo to provide a well-structured and strategic exhibition and conference platform that will assure a worthwhile return of investment for its exhibitors and stakeholders, ensure proper representation of all the key sectors within the health and medical industry, and offer a new and diversified range of relevant products, services and technologies.
It brought in over 100 local and international companies and international healthcare centers from the US, Korea, Japan, Italy, India, Malaysia, Thailand, Turkey and the UAE, attracted more than 300 senior healthcare specialists representing the private and public sectors, and more than 4,000 high-level trade visitors.
With the positive feedback received from participating companies, visitors and the government sector about the last edition, Oman Health Exhibition and Conference is well on its way to present a better show this year.
To date, it has already enlisted the support of the Ministry of Health, Oman Medical Association, Oman Disaster and Emergency Association, Al Nahda Hospital, UK Trade and Investment (UKTI) and German Industry and Commerce.
The Conference will cover two tracks that will focus on Emergency Medicine and Investments and Oncology. The emergency Medicine program, designed to improve emergency medicine health services in Oman by improving the skills and knowledge of emergency medicine staff, will tackle topics such as diagnosis and management, pediatric emergency, and training and education and will include workshops on disaster response and management and research.
The program, endorsed by the International Federation for Emergency Medicine, is governed by a scientific committee composed of industry experts responsible for the formulation of scientific strategies, program development and direction, and evaluation of papers.
Investments and Oncology will address healthcare issues in Oman and discuss tangible solutions to these issues. The topics that are relevant to this program include “Investment Opportunities within Oman’s Health Sector,” Surgical Oncology, Imaging and Radiotherapy, and Cancer Control.
Oman Health’s exhibition manager, Ahmed Sayed, says “We are working closely with the Ministry of Health in order to provide proper and relevant information about health and medical issues in Oman that are aligned with the government’s initiatives and long-term plan.”
With the increasing number of Oman requiring needing healthcare and specialized treatment, there is an equal need to increase the number of healthcare clinics and hospitals, and this is what is currently happening. The two huge medical city projects—Sultan Qaboos Medical City and International Medical City—are proof that Oman could potentially be a destination for medical tourism,” he concludes.
