Workplace design, food environments, care pathways, and digital infrastructure shape far more outcomes than individual choice or treatment access. Holistic Health Middle East provides the analytical frame for understanding these systems and the forum where senior leaders interrogate them together.

Health at the systems level

Health outcomes in the Gulf are stalling despite clinical expansion and rising investment. Metabolic pressure, cognitive overload, and physical inactivity remain embedded in organisational and societal patterns.

Holistic Health Middle East examines health as a system of interlocking structures - clinical, organisational, cultural, and economic. The forum convenes leaders who influence these systems and who can shift them.


Next October in Riyadh, 150 senior decision-makers will work through the structural drivers of health and the practical implications for work, care, and policy.

Structure

Approach

Participants

Participants

Health is addressed across physical, psychological, relational, and structural dimensions - grounded in evidence, not slogans.

Participants

Participants

Participants

Leaders from healthcare, business, policy, HR, fitness, and mental health. Because no single sector can resolve systemic health challenges.

Intent

Participants

Intent

Not wellness theatre. Not corporate perks. Holistic Health examines the systems that produce strain and explores what repair looks like.

Partnership

Partnership aligns your organisation with the leaders shaping the region’s structural approach to health. It positions you inside the decision-making forum, not around it.

Applications are reviewed for seniority, strategic relevance, and cross-sector balance. Priority is given to leaders influencing organisational or policy direction.

Alignment

Bringing senior decision-makers into one controlled environment compresses the time normally required to surface constraints, test assumptions, and align priorities.

Cross-sector coherence

The forum convenes leaders from clinical, organisational, policy, and investment domains to examine interdependencies that cannot be resolved within any single sector.

Applied insight

Contributors present system-level analysis from recognised institutions, focusing on the practical implications for health, work, and policy.
