Abdul Latif Jameel Health brings health tech innovators from around the world to Arab Health 2023

Improving affordable access to modern medical care is one of the world’s most pressing challenges and must be one of our biggest collective priorities. Some 8.4% of the global population lives in extreme poverty living on less than of US$ 2.15 a day according to
2022 World Bank estimates.

Abdul Latif Jameel Health is our response, with a focus on the disparity in access between developed and developing nations, notably in the fast-growing economies of the ‘Global South’. Backed by Abdul Latif Jameel, one of the region’s most respected diversified family businesses and global investors, with over three quarters of a century of commercial heritage and established networks across 30 countries, Abdul Latif Jameel Health is uniquely positioned as a strong and trusted partner to address real-world healthcare needs today, for a better tomorrow.

With a strong partnership ethos, Abdul Latif Jameel Health has confirmed its participation in Arab Health 2023, returning to the Dubai World Trade Centre under the theme ‘Innovation and Sustainability in Healthcare’. Easing of COVID-19 restrictions and a return to normality
will see the 48th Congress much larger – and busier – than the last two years, with the UAE reaffirming its position as a global healthcare hub with AED 2.8bn (US$ 763m) deals secured in 2022.

Abdul Latif Jameel Health will showcase a range of innovative, disruptive products from partners from as far afield as the USA and Japan, including Butterfly, Melody, Holoeyes, and Cyberdyne, as it brings these cutting-edge technologies to the Middle East and Africa.

The Butterfly iQ+, the world’s first handheld, single probe, whole body ultrasound solution, brings the power of ultrasound into assessment, diagnosis, and treatment processes.

Melody’s iCTG is a convenient, wearable, smart, and highly portable remote mobile foetal monitoring device to assist in problematic or high-risk pregnancies, enabling safer and more secure births for both mother and infant.

Holoeyes’ extended reality surgical platform fuses technology, artificial intelligence and medicine enabling physicians to share complex information intuitively and with greater understanding and transparency than conventional 2D imaging techniques to plan intricate surgery and raise educational understanding in training new medical professionals.

Cyberdyne will showcase its Hybrid Assistive Limb (HAL) exoskeleton technology pioneering rehabilitative therapy.

Access to affordable health
These partnerships underscore Abdul Latif Jameel Health’s commitment to adding real, tangible, value; not only to all our business partner relationships, but also to the communities across the Global South. In a year that saw the 8 billionth human being born, addressing the issue of access affordable health care makes Abdul Latif Jameel Health’s vision is more relevant than ever.
