Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) will participate in the 19^th annual forum of the Arab Hospitals Federation in Muscat, Oman next week. Held under the patronage of His Excellency Dr. Ahmed Bin Mohammed Bin Obaid Al Saidi, Minister of Health for the Sultanate of Oman, the two-day event is expected to be attended by hundreds of representatives from the region’s healthcare sector.

The theme for this year’s event is ‘Partnering to Develop the Healthcare Sector’ and the forum, taking place 29 and 30 April, is expected to emphasize the need for the region’s healthcare stakeholders to work together.

A delegation from HMC is attending the forum at the invitation of the Arab Hospitals Federation. This will be the healthcare provider’s tenth consecutive year participating.

Chief Communications Officer at HMC and Chair of the Ministry of Public Health’s Healthcare Communications Committee is leading HMC’s delegation and said the forum provides an important platform for regional stakeholders to highlight developments in the healthcare sector while also exploring opportunities for collaboration.

“Participating in this annual event is an important part of HMC’s strategy for remaining up-to-date with regional and global health sector developments. HMC's participation provides an opportunity to highlight the latest health-related developments in the State of Qatar on a regional stage and allows us to share our experiences and successes. It also provides an opportunity to highlight our focus on training, education, and clinical service improvements, including our successful transformation into the first Academic Health System within the Middle East and North Africa region,” said Mr. Al Khater.

The MedHealth forum is organized each year by the Arab Hospitals Federation with the aim of familiarizing attendees with the latest developments in the healthcare sector. Each year the forum coincides with an exhibition which features the sector’s leading suppliers and showcases the latest discoveries and techniques in various medical specialties. Healthcare organizations, manufacturers, and distributors from across the region are expected to be in attendance.
