Together for a healthier world

Where the world’s health leaders convene

Name: World Health Expo Leaders Africa
Start: 2025-12-08
End: 2025-12-09
Location: Kempinski Hotel

8 February 2026

An exclusive summit for ministers, CEOs, investors and innovators shaping the next decade of health policy and investment.

Catalysts of health transformation

Across the globe, health systems are under immense pressure. Challenges such as aging populations, growing chronic disease, rising costs, workforce shortages, and faster technological change than most regulatory frameworks can keep up with.

The decisions taken in the next decade will determine whether national systems remain reactive and fragmented, or become resilient, data-informed, and financially sustainable.

This transformation cannot be achieved by any single ministry, institution, or organisation working in isolation. It demands coordinated policy, targeted investment, and a shared vision of priorities to drive meaningful change.

World Health Expo Leaders convenes global healthcare leadership

WHX Leaders Dubai is built as an invitation-only environment for coordinated action. Dubai serves as a unique connector, uniting 150+ of the most influential decision-makers in global health to address shared priorities and align on decisions with long-term national and regional impact.   The 2026 launch preview sets the direction for WHX Leaders 2027, a multi-year initiative designed to accelerate system-level reform across policy, investment, and innovation.

Dubai brings together decision-makers from across regions, sectors, and systems. Its role as a connector makes it the ideal location for a leadership forum that depends on neutrality, access, and international reach.  

Ministers of Health and senior government officials.

CEOs and CxOs from health systems, pharma, medtech, and insurance.

Global investors and accelerators

Leaders from public health agencies and international organisations.

UAE 2031 Vision

The UAE’s Vision 2031 sets a clear mandate: a world-leading, tech-enabled, prevention-driven health system capable of meeting the needs of a rapidly evolving region. It prioritises resilience, digital readiness, regulatory agility, and sustainable financing - the core pressures shared by health systems worldwide. As the host of WHX Leaders Dubai, the UAE offers a vantage point shaped by policy ambition, investment scale, and a long-standing commitment to international cooperation. The summit builds on this foundation, providing a forum for governments and global organisations to align on the structural reforms required for the decade ahead.
