The Global Health Exhibition is a gateway to Saudi Arabia's evolving market, offering a platform for international and local companies to connect, network, seek investment, acquire education and stay updated on the latest market developments. Last year's event brought the best of industry to Riyadh, generating over US $131.4 million on the show floor and MOUs involving 30+ companies worth US $880.5 million.
