GCC healthcare leaders and international experts will descend on Dubai later this year to discuss how technology can improve healthcare in ways never imagined before. The HIMSS Middle East Integrated Health Innovations Conference will take place on Dec. 11-12 at the JW Marriott Marquis hotel in Dubai. The event will discuss the benefits of healthcare systems that deliver smart services, but often the IT infrastructure required to operate these cutting-edge systems is inadequate, or simply not in place. So to coordinate a strategic road map, a panel of regional leaders will discuss what they have in place today and how government agencies can pool resources to make that quantum leap and provide the best healthcare services possible. H. Stephen Lieber, CEO of HIMSS, said the HIMSS Middle East Healthcare Innovations Conference will provide the right platform to bring the necessary professionals together to make smart health potentially a reality for all regional healthcare authorities. “To support healthcare professionals in the Middle East region at this critical time in its development is very exciting. The standards being set in the GCC are truly world-class. We will bring best practice from all around the world and deliver a program that provides healthcare professionals in the GCC with the tools to take healthcare to the next level,” he said. — SG
