With an aim to significantly contribute to the Kingdom's vision in line with its Ninth Five-Year Plan, and in response to the high prevalence of lifestyle diseases including obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases, the MEDEXPO exhibition will focus on increasing awareness on issues related to healthcare, and improving economic and social development across the healthcare sector. The exhibition will also launch a medical forum to leverage opportunities for professionals from across the healthcare industry to discuss innovative solutions and best practices, in a move towards developing sustainable healthcare within Saudi Arabia. Samer Abu Ghazaleh, CEO of International Medical Center, said the gathering gives Saudi's healthcare leaders a chance to meet and share their ideas on how to deliver quality healthcare to the Kingdom's 26 million residents.
