The Qatar International Medical Devices & Healthcare Exhibition and Conference (QMED) will be held from December 2 to 4 at the new Doha Exhibition and Convention Centre.
QMED 2015 will host more than 70 exhibitors from 12 countries, the organisers have said in a statement, and more than 1,000 doctors, healthcare professionals and medical experts are expected to visit the exhibition to see and be a part of latest innovations, technologies, services and solutions.
The event, held under the patronage of the Supreme Council of Health, will provide a specialised and integrated platform to boost communication among the local, regional and international players and highlight the latest trends and newest developments in and for the Qatari healthcare sector, the statement notes.
