It was a great honor to have participated in the Middle East International Medical Tourism Congress, held from February 19 to 21, 2024, in Dubai. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the event organizers, all distinguished participants, and especially to Mr. Lotfi Khelifi, the organizer and general supervisor, for the flawless coordination and the high-quality execution of the congress.

The event stood out for its focus on crucial topics related to medical tourism, such as excellence in hospital management, innovations in geriatric care, and investment opportunities in health tourism, making it an essential platform for knowledge exchange and international collaboration. The presence of key figures, including the Minister of Health and Prevention of the UAE, Dr. Tawfik Khoja, and Dr. Hamad Al Manea, alongside other industry leaders, provided comprehensive and valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities within the medical tourism sector.

Furthermore, the B2B and B2G sessions, which included representatives from countries such as the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, and regions in Africa and Europe, created a productive environment for establishing strategic partnerships. The discussions on the future of medical tourism and the professionalization of the sector, led by international experts, gave clear direction for improving standards and exploring new investment opportunities.

This congress proved to be a benchmark in the field, offering a unique opportunity to explore the potential of medical tourism on a global scale. The quality of the program, the diversity of topics discussed, and the high caliber of the participants reinforced the importance of the event within the industry.

My sincere congratulations to the organizers for making this event such a great success, and I reiterate my appreciation to Mr. Lotfi and his team for the impeccable organization. I look forward to seeing the outcomes of the connections and discussions that took place during this important forum and hope to participate in future editions.
