The World Innovation Summit for Health (WISH), an initiative of Qatar Foundation, has partnered with local and international leaders in healthcare to host the Innovation Hub – WISH’s largest exhibition to date – which will be held on the sidelines of the upcoming summit, taking place from 13 – 14 November at the Qatar National Convention Centre.
The WISH Innovation Hub is an enhanced interactive exhibition space that will host informal discussions, provide hands-on experience of technologies, and offer a variety of networking opportunities. It will also feature some of the world’s most exciting healthcare innovations, and showcase both local and international partner organisations.
The Hub will highlight the role of innovation in making Qatar’s healthcare system both agile and dynamic. A number of notable global organisations will be participating in the exhibition and will present their research and highlight their healthcare projects.
WISH CEO Sultana N Afdhal, said that they are grateful for the support of all their local and international partners, and look forward to welcoming them to the Innovation Hub. She said that they firmly believe in taking a multi-disciplinary approach to tackle global healthcare challenges.
Each of our partner organisation brings a unique set of ideas and experiences that will contribute to the improvement of healthcare systems around the world, accelerating the expansion of a Universal Health Coverage.
We must, therefore, exert our collective efforts to ensure that everyone in the world has access to high-quality and affordable healthcare, a goal that is only achievable through active global collaboration.’
The Innovation Hub will offer an opportunity for professionals working in various fields to engage in constructive dialogue, learn and exchange ideas, and potentially form new collaborative initiatives that will benefit the health of global populations.
WISH 2018 will explore a range of pressing global healthcare issues through a series of thought-provoking panel discussions. For the first time, this year’s summit will be preceded by a week of healthcare-related events during the Doha Healthcare Week, from 6 to 12 November.
