WHX Dubai 2026 (formerly Arab Health)

From to

WHX Dubai (formerly known as Arab Health) is a large-scale international healthcare trade exhibition and conference held annually in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It is organised by Informa Markets under their global “WHX – World Health Expo” brand, which unifies various healthcare events around the world.

Key details

  • The event traces its origins back to 1975 (as Arab Health) and has grown significantly since. 
  • In a major strategic shift, Arab Health announced its re-branding to WHX Dubai during its 50th-anniversary edition. 
  • The next edition is scheduled for 9-12 February 2026, at the Dubai Exhibition Centre (DEC), at Expo City Dubai. 
  • It is part of a broader plan where WHX Dubai will be timed/located alongside another event, WHX Labs Dubai, to create what is marketed as “the world’s largest healthcare event”.

What to expect

  • A massive exhibition with thousands of exhibitors representing medical devices, diagnostics, hospital infrastructure, IT & digital health solutions, wellness and prevention, and more.
  • Attendees from many countries – the event draws global healthcare professionals, government representatives, manufacturers, distributors and service providers.
  • A strong conference/educational component: CME-accredited forums, specialised tracks in healthcare delivery, diagnostics, imaging, laboratory technologies, and emerging areas.
  • Strategic opportunity: It serves as a platform for business development (exhibitors & buyers), product launches, networking, partnerships, especially in the Middle East & North Africa region.

Why it matters

  • This event offers a major platform in the Middle East, a region that has growing demand for advanced spinal solutions, hospital infrastructure, and devices.
  • It’s an opportunity for global exposure (manufacturers / brands) in a strategic geographic location.
  • The re-branding signals a stronger global agenda: the event is positioning itself not only regionally but internationally under the WHX brand. This could mean broader visibility, new segments, and possibly new types of partnerships
