As the World Health Expo Dubai 2026 (WHX, formerly Arab Health) gets inaugurated today and runs through February 9-12, anticipation builds for transformative discussions on healthcare innovation. Gulf News spoke with Dr Zain Kenderian, CEO, Bascom Palmer Eye Institute Abu Dhabi, on the sidewalks of his session tomorrow on Investing in Health Systems: Risk, Resilience & Return in Emerging Markets.
The World Health Expo is a vital arena for advancing patient-centred innovation, and Bascom Palmer Abu Dhabi aligns perfectly by bringing America’s top eye institute to the UAE. Since our Phase 1 launch in late 2025 we’ve focused on advanced ophthalmology, integrating AI-driven diagnostics and telemedicine.
