He later spent over an hour touring the sell-out exhibition at which more than 2,300 companies from around the world are exhibiting products and services, and listened intently as he spoke with exhibitors and attendees.
"We have been both delighted and honoured by His Highness' presence on the opening day of Arab Health," said Jessica Sutherland, General Manager of IIR Middle East, organisers of the event. "His attendance underlines the importance of Arab Health, an event that is unrivalled in the region for medical professionals and for all working in the healthcare sector," she added.
More than 50,000 medical and healthcare professionals are taking part in Arab Health which is by far the biggest gathering of its kind in the region showcasing the latest medical technologies and clinical research. It has been a sell-out in terms of exhibitor space, say the organisers.
Arab Health is backed by the Ministry of Health of the United Arab Emirates, Dubai Health Authority and the Health Authority of Abu Dhabi.
