WHX Dubai 2027 (formerly Arab Health, now including WHX Labs, formerly Medlab Middle East) runs 25-28 January across two venues: Dubai Exhibition Centre at Expo City Dubai and Dubai World Trade Centre. It’s the world’s largest healthcare event, and laboratory and diagnostics exhibitors now show inside WHX Dubai’s dedicated Labs Zone rather than as a separate event.
About WHX Dubai
WHX Dubai unifies what were previously two separate shows: WHX in Dubai (formerly Arab Health, the region’s flagship healthcare exhibition) and WHX Labs (formerly Medlab Middle East, the dedicated laboratory and diagnostics show). From the 2027 edition, WHX Labs no longer runs as a standalone event. Its 25-year laboratory community legacy continues inside WHX Dubai as a dedicated Labs Zone, giving lab exhibitors access to the much larger combined healthcare audience. WHX Dubai is the flagship event of World Healthcare Week, running under the patronage of the UAE Ministry of Health and Prevention, across two world-class venues.
What’s on the show floor
The Labs Zone continues to cover diagnostics, testing, pathology, and laboratory technology, the same territory Medlab Middle East/WHX Labs exhibitors know. Around it, the wider WHX Dubai floor covers hospital and clinical equipment, medical devices and imaging, digital health and AI, pharmaceuticals and parapharma, and wellness and rehabilitation. A conference programme runs alongside spanning clinical specialties, health policy, and investment.
Who buys at WHX Dubai
Visitors include hospital and lab procurement teams, clinical pathologists and lab directors, healthcare distributors, medical device buyers, policymakers, and healthcare investors from across 195+ countries. The combined event draws around 235,000 professional visits and 90,000+ unique attendees.
Notable exhibitors
Strategic and premium partners have included Philips, Siemens Healthineers, GE Healthcare, Masimo, Zimmer Biomet, Canon Medical, and Drägerwerk, alongside major regional distributors and laboratory technology suppliers carrying over from the WHX Labs/Medlab legacy.
