Formerly Arab Health

Arab Health is now World Health Expo

A new chapter built on a 50 year legacy

Formerly known as Arab Health, the event has evolved into World Health Expo (WHX), hosted in Dubai from 9–12 February 2026 at Dubai Exhibition Centre.

Why the change?

For over 50 years, Arab Health connected global healthcare professionals in Dubai. As the healthcare exhibition expanded, we needed name that better reflects:

A identity built on global attendance
A unified brand across regions
A platform that reflects the scale of today’s healthcare landscape

That's what World Health Expo delivers.

It brings together the entire healthcare ecosystem under one name, representing 180+ countries, with more content, more exhibitors, and more opportunities to connect.

WHX is where the world of healthcare meets.

World Health Expo

The world's largest healthcare exhibition

As the world's largest Dubai healthcare trade show, WHX exhibitors span every sector of healthcare. Arab Health exhibitors you’ve known for years are now part of a more connected ecosystem of healthcare suppliers Dubai turns to for solutions, partnerships, and investment opportunities.
