Muscat: In alignment with the Oman Vision 2040 strategy that identifies the healthcare sector as a pivotal industry for progression, the Oman Health Exhibition and Conference (OHEC) is all set to, once again, drive advancements, foster collaboration, and catalyse innovation within the sector. Revered as the Sultanate’s leading international event dedicated to the healthcare and medical industry, OHEC is scheduled to take place from 18 – 20 September 2023 at the Oman Convention and Exhibition Centre in Hall Number 3.
Organised by CONNECT (Oman Exhibitions Organizing Company LLC) and conducted in strategic partnership with Oman’s esteemed Ministry of Health (MOH), the event is supported by the Directorate General of Pharmaceutical Affairs and Drug Control (PADC), the Directorate General of Quality Assurance Center (DGQAC) and the Directorate of Private Health Establishment. Co-located at the exhibition will be the Oman Health Conference that is organised under the patronage of the MOH and is accredited by CPD certification.

Hosted by the Ministry of Health, the Oman Health Conference will give experts from healthcare universities, government institutions and research associations a platform to share technical developments in the sector and facilitate insightful conversations about the latest trends and innovations in the industry.
The second day of the Oman Health Conference will commemorate World Patient Safety Day with a presentation and panel discussion on Patient Engagement and Community Involvement, honing in on the contribution of patients and caregivers to safety in healthcare.
Commenting on the significance of OHEC to Oman’s burgeoning healthcare sector, Dr Qamra Al Sariri, Director General of the Quality Assurance Center, said, “The Ministry of Health, in collaboration with Oman Health Exhibition and Conference, aims to enhance worldwide recognition regarding the importance of involving patients, families, and caregivers at every level and in all healthcare settings to enhance patient safety.”
The expo, now in its 12th edition, will present an extensive exhibitor profile comprising professionals in the field of hospital and medical infrastructure, medical tourism experts, well-known pharmaceutical brands, and specialists in nutrition and supplements. A confluence of expertise and innovation, the event simultaneously serves as a platform to showcase the latest state-of-the-art medical technologies, facilitate collaboration between visitors and avant-garde healthcare pioneers, and promote empowerment and sustainability within the domain.
Geared towards promoting medical tourism, OHEC also stands as a model of synergy, where foreign expertise merges with local aspirations.
