This distinguished event serves as a platform to acknowledge remarkable contributions and innovative brilliance within the healthcare sector.

Anticipated to draw over a thousand attendees, including healthcare leaders, professionals, and prominent Arab and Bollywood celebrities, this event showcases the healthcare industry's commitment to excellence, advancement, and celebrating success.

Following the great success of last year, where 63 esteemed awards were presented, the Annual Health Awards has been a platform to publicise and promote significant achievements in the healthcare sector since its inaugural edition. The Annual Health Awards 2024 aims to inspire healthcare professionals and institutions to dream big and embark upon great endeavours.

The UAE Ministry of Economy's projection of healthcare spending potentially reaching $26 billion by 2028 aligns with the nation's substantial investment in healthcare infrastructure and services. The report further states that this commitment is exemplified by the ongoing development of 700 healthcare projects, totaling $60.9 billion, primarily driven by private sector endeavours.

Dr Thumbay Moideen said: "These initiatives are geared towards promoting excellence and enhancing the quality and infrastructure of the healthcare industry in the region. As a result, such improvements not only cater to the local population but also position the UAE as a leading destination for medical tourism, thereby further boosting the nation's healthcare sector."

The HEALTH Magazine Awards are expertly run to ensure transparency and fairness in evaluating the nominees by a bench of prominent jury members.
