The Middle East’s leading event dedicated to the advancement of precision medicine in the region is set to welcome a distinguished line-up of healthcare leaders and experts from around the world later this month.
Returning to the United Arab Emirates, the 2023 edition of the PrecisionMed Exhibition & Summit (PMES) takes place 23-24 May 2023 at the Dubai World Trade Centre.
Bringing together key figures in the field of precision medicine, PMES 23 will offer a unique platform for knowledge sharing and collaboration by reviewing the practical application of precision medicine and encouraging clinical adoption. Attendees can expect engaging
discussions, insightful presentations, and interactive exhibits showcasing the latest breakthroughs and technologies in precision medicine.
PMES 23 is generously supported by the UAE’s Ministry of Industry and Advanced
Technology (MoIAT), Ministry of Health and Prevention (MoHAP), Department of Health (DoH) Abu Dhabi, and the Dubai Health Authority (DHA).
David Stradling, Managing Director of the PrecisionMed Exhibition & Summit (PMES), stated: “In 2022, the global market was valued at about $73.5 billion; by 2030, we will exceed $175 billion. Developed markets are being serviced by companies in this space and they are now turning to the significant opportunities offered by the Middle East and North Africa where genetic screening is in growing demand.”
Aisha Al Mulla, Director of Friends of Cancer Patients in the UAE, added: “The
endorsement of the integration of personalised and precision medicine can improve the
diagnostics, drug therapy and health outcomes by tailoring the treatment plan to the needs of each cancer patient.”
