The second annual Qatar International Medical Congress (QIMC), taking place in Doha later this month, will bring together the most renowned and innovative companies from around the world.

The event will take place from May 18 to May 20 at the Doha Exhibition and Convention Centre.

Following the immense success of the first congress in 2015,  this year’s event will continue to support the regional medical community, connecting top international companies to the industry’s leading entrepreneurs, doctors and researchers.

“We are pleased to be bringing the international medical community to Qatar once again. QIMC 2016 is expected to further enhance the image of Qatar on a global level, by fostering a knowledge sharing environment amongst the international medical community. By advancing the national healthcare agenda, this event supports a key aspect of the human development pillar in realising Qatar’s National Vision 2030,” said Abdullah Abdurazaq Haider, CEO QIMC.

The event provides the industry with opportunities to navigate the dynamic market place of Qatar, GCC, the Middle East, as well as the International arena, the statement said.

Its focus, this year, continues to be on hospital equipment and supplies, diagnostics, pharmaceuticals, sports, medical and rehabilitation sectors.

QIMC 2015 welcomed 8,000 visitors and more than 150 exhibitors, and this year’s congress promises to attract an even larger international audience and research interests from around the world to the region, it said.

Moreover, QIMC 2016 will introduce the latest medical innovations to the healthcare sector, and bring the much deserved focus and attention to all the research organisations currently operating in Qatar. - TradeArabia News Service
