World Health Expo Dubai 2026: Expo City hosts major healthcare event

Dubai is preparing to host the landmark World Health Expo 2026 at the Dubai Exhibition Centre in Expo City Dubai, marking the first time in its fifty-year history that the event—previously known as Arab Health—will move outside the Dubai World Trade Centre. Under a strategic partnership with the venue, the exhibition space will expand by 11,343 square meters, bringing the total exhibition area to 74,402 square meters.

The 2026 edition of the World Health Expo is expected to welcome more than 235,000 professional visitors and over 4,300 exhibitors from around the world. In tandem with the shift in venue, the event will also introduce enhanced features including multiple accredited conferences, new boot-camp offerings, and dedicated stages for future-facing healthcare innovation.

The relocation to the Dubai Exhibition Centre at Expo City aligns with Dubai’s ambition to reinforce its position as a global healthcare hub. The upgraded facilities, improved accessibility, and expanded space will support deeper collaboration among governments, businesses and innovators in the healthcare sector. The event will be held from February 9 to February 12, 2026, under the patronage of the UAE’s health authorities.

By combining scale, innovation and international reach, the World Health Expo Dubai 2026 aims to transform the host city into a global cross-road for healthcare advancement and investment.
