Health as infrastructure

Work, food, care, and digital systems shape health outcomes more than individual choice. 


Holistic Health Middle East is a closed forum where senior leaders examine these structures and their consequences.

Despite rising healthcare spend, outcomes across the Gulf are stalling. Metabolic strain, cognitive overload, and inactivity persist because they are designed into how work and care operate.


This October in Dubai, Holistic Health Middle East convenes 150 decision-makers to treat health as infrastructure - linking workforce performance, healthcare delivery, and economic risk.

This forum convenes leaders from:

Business

Healthcare

Healthcare

Workforce capacity, productivity risk, cost exposure, and operational continuity at scale.

Healthcare

Prevention strategy, clinical capacity, care pathway design, and system performance.

Government

Labour force participation, population health, national capacity building, and long-term economic resilience.

Partnership

Partnership secures your organisation a position inside the region’s health decision-making infrastructure. Partners take an active role in shaping the room by nominating priority organisations for invitation, alongside leaders driving workforce capacity, system design, and long-term resilience.

Inside the forum

Alignment

A closed, senior forum accelerates decision-making by surfacing constraints, testing assumptions, and aligning priorities in real time.

Cross-sector coherence

Leaders from healthcare, employers, insurers, policy, and investment examine interdependencies that no single sector can resolve in isolation.

Applied insight

Institutional contributors present system-level analysis with direct implications for workforce capacity, healthcare delivery, and policy design.
