WHX Labs is now part of WHX

The laboratory community is moving into a more connected healthcare platform. From 2027, WHX Labs will become part of the flagship World Health Expo event in Dubai. 

At WHX, you'll find a dedicated Labs Zone, bringing the laboratory innovation, diagnostics, suppliers and scientific expertise you already know and love closer to the wider healthcare ecosystem.

Formerly known as Medlab Middle East, WHX Labs has supported the global laboratory community for 25 years.

Its next chapter brings that legacy into WHX, giving lab professionals, suppliers and buyers access to a broader platform for healthcare trade, connection and learning.

What's changing?

WHX Labs will no longer run as a separate event. Instead, the most relevant laboratory content, exhibitors and opportunities will be integrated into WHX through a dedicated Labs Zone.

This means one clearer destination for all healthcare professionals, buyers, suppliers and laboratory leaders attending World Health Expo in Dubai.

One connected event

Laboratory suppliers and professionals will now be part of the wider WHX experience.

A dedicated Labs Zone

Relevant lab products, diagnostics and supplier categories from Medlab Exhibition 2026 will remain visible within the show.

A broader healthcare audience

Lab exhibitors and attendees can connect with buyers, distributors, hospitals, clinicians and decision-makers across the wider healthcare ecosystem.

Looking for WHX Labs or Medlab Middle East?

You’re in the right place!

WHX Labs Dubai, formerly Medlab Middle East, is joining WHX as part of the event’s dedicated laboratory offering.

You will still be able to discover laboratory suppliers, diagnostics solutions and relevant healthcare products. The difference is that these opportunities will now sit within a larger healthcare platform, helping you connect with more of the people, businesses and ideas shaping healthcare in Dubai and beyond.

Why Labs is joining WHX 

Laboratories are no longer separate from the wider healthcare conversation. Diagnostics, testing, precision medicine, pathology, lab technology and data are central to how health systems detect, treat and manage disease. 

By bringing WHX Labs into World Health Expo, we are creating a more connected event where the laboratory community can meet the wider healthcare market in one place.

  • Closer to healthcare buyers

    Connect with hospitals, distributors, procurement teams and healthcare businesses already attending WHX.

  • Closer to clinical conversations

    Position Med Lab Dubai laboratory medicine alongside healthcare delivery, diagnostics, imaging, innovation and system performance.

  • Closer to commercial opportunity

    Give lab suppliers access to a broader trade environment built around sourcing, partnerships and market access.
