Organised in partnership with regional governments and hosted in Istanbul, we are pleased to announce the first ever Inter-Governmental regional health summit, incorporating Iraq, Turkey, Jordan, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia.
Following substantial increases in Central Government budgets, the spotlight has turned to the various healthcare systems in the region and the importance of maintaining healthy populations to drive economic development.

programmes and advances in facility management and human resources development.
