Under the theme, ‘Advancing Healthcare Together,’ the company is presenting a wide range of the latest technologies and solutions at Arab Health, which highlight GE Healthcare’s focus on promoting innovation across all aspects of healthcare delivery. The Platinum Sponsor of the event, GE Healthcare is also extending its support to leading conferences held on the sidelines of the event, including the Big Data Conference, Leaders in Healthcare, Middle East Anaesthesia and Radiology Conferences.
Maher Abouzeid, President and CEO of GE Healthcare for the Middle East and Pakistan, said, “Healthcare expenditure in the GCC region has been increasing at an estimated 7.9 per cent per annum over the last ten years, and the total healthcare expenditure is expected to be US$79.2 billion in 2015. The key drivers in healthcare expenditure growth are the increasing incidence of lifestyle diseases and population growth. To address this challenge, there is greater emphasis from governments to partner with companies that provide complete and full solutions, which is one of the core priorities of GE Healthcare.
“Highlighting our commitment to advancing healthcare together with our partners in the Middle East, GE Healthcare is showcasing its latest innovative medical technologies, services, and solutions aimed at providing greater clinical confidence, patient comfort, hospital productivity, and connectivity for the first time in the Middle East at Arab Health 2014.
