Medlab Middle East, the MENA region’s medical laboratory exhibition and congress, will return to the Dubai World Trade Centre from 6 – 9 February as a standalone event. The news comes after Informa Markets announced that the 2022 edition, which welcomed 454 exhibitors and was co-located with Arab Health, concluded deals worth more than 469 million dirhams during the four-day showcase.
Throughout the pandemic, the medical laboratory industry played a pivotal role in the fight against COVID-19 through diagnosis, monitoring, development of vaccines, testing protocols, and testing kits. The methods employed included genomic sequencing, immunological testing, and rapid diagnostic testing, among others.
The event will feature representation from over 180 countries and will have 14 country pavilions.
The Medlab Middle East show floor will have product categories, showcasing the latest technology, innovation, and overview of disposables, general services, imaging, IT, laboratory, medical equipment, orthopedic, physiotherapy, and pharma.
