DOHA: Several interesting topics, including opportunities for manufacturing medical equipment in Qatar, will be discussed at Qatar International Medical Congress (QIMC) 2016 to be held from Wednesday to Friday.
QIMC 2016 will offer unprecedented opportunities for health professionals to discuss in detail the latest technological and scientific discoveries in the diagnosis of cancers and epidemic diseases, as well as the latest scientific and medical technologies available in the Qatari market.
“We are proud to participate in QIMC for the second consecutive year,” said Dr Mohammed Hamad Al Nuaimi, General Manager, Al Maha Medical.
“We expect that our participation this year will be very special, as the exhibition and conference will have strategic importance for Qatar, considering the prominent speakers and experts who will discuss unprecedented topics.
“We also expect to witness deals and agreements aimed at strengthening the medical industry in Qatar,” he added.
Morad Mallah, Executive Manager, Al Maha Medical, said: “One of the most prominent characteristic of this year’s edition is the emergence of researchers, especially in the field of new technologies, who are interested in breaking ground for manufacturing in Qatar due to the great support offered by the country’s leadership, as well as the participation of specialised organisations such as Qatar Development Bank and Manateq.”
QIMC 2016 has attracted prominent international medical think tanks, led by Professor Johannes Schweizer, who owns 14 patents and is considered one of the most prominent contemporary researchers at Stanford University in California.
In addition, researchers from Qatar Computing Research Institute of Hamad Bin Khalifa University will engage in a knowledge-sharing session with experts in the health sector.
The conference will also provide an opportunity to learn about international medical breakthroughs prominent laboratories are using to identify Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (Aids), and hepatitis by using a swab of saliva instead of blood as is the case at present.
As for the control and regulation of all laboratory testing procedures, especially in light of diseases such as epidemiological and viral diseases that develop and spread quickly such as the Ebola and Zika viruses and others, QIMC 2016 will set up a first-of-its-kind laboratory in the Middle East to strengthen our stance and brings our slogan ‘In the heart of healthcare’ into reality’, he added.
