<strong>UAE</strong> <strong>hospitals</strong> <strong>vie</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>top</strong> <strong>spot</strong> at the 2012 Arab Health Awards<br />
Dubai, <strong>UAE</strong>: The shortlist of nominations <strong>for</strong> the 2012 Arab Health Innovation & Achievement Awards<br />
has been announced with more than 50 healthcare facilities from the United Arab Emirates vying <strong>for</strong> the<br />
<strong>top</strong> <strong>spot</strong> in this year’s awards. With <strong>hospitals</strong> such as Corniche Hospital, Rashid Hospital and Abu Dhabi<br />
Health Services Company (SEHA) making it to the final shortlist, the 2012 Arab Health Awards is set to be<br />
a good year <strong>for</strong> the <strong>UAE</strong> healthcare industry.<br />
Top per<strong>for</strong>mers from twelve categories rewarding outstanding institutions and individual achievements<br />
that have contributed to the growth and development of the <strong>Middle</strong> <strong>East</strong> healthcare industry will be<br />
announced on 24th January 2012, during the 37 th Arab Health Exhibition & Congress which is organised<br />
by In<strong>for</strong>ma Exhibitions and will take place at the Dubai International Convention & Exhibition Centre.<br />
“This year the number of submissions <strong>for</strong> the Arab Health Awards has grown exponentially, from the<br />
wider GCC and <strong>Middle</strong> <strong>East</strong>, particularly from the <strong>UAE</strong> and Saudi Arabia,” says Mr El Husseini, business<br />
development director, GE Healthcare <strong>Middle</strong> <strong>East</strong> and member of the Arab Health Awards judging panel.<br />
“What is interesting to see is more participation from the wider healthcare communities in the region<br />
such as outpatient care as well as from the private sector. This is very encouraging and shows how<br />
important the Arab Health Awards are in terms of offering recognition within the regional healthcare<br />
community. In countries such as the <strong>UAE</strong>, where the government is investing heavily in their healthcare<br />
infrastructure, the Arab Health Awards offer a fantastic plat<strong>for</strong>m to highlight recent health<br />
achievements in the <strong>UAE</strong>.”<br />
The panel examined more than 150 nominations submitted by healthcare facilities and professionals<br />
from around the <strong>Middle</strong> <strong>East</strong> region to build the shortlist <strong>for</strong> ten award categories:<br />
