UK success at Arab Health

The UK had its largest presence ever at Arab Health this year.

The exhibition, held in Dubai is the leading event for healthcare professionals in the Middle East and was host to over 55,000 visitors from over 145 countries. The UK had its largest presence at the show this year and with continued support from UK Trade & Investment (UKTI), the UK Government’s international business development body, companies highlighted exactly why they are world leaders in healthcare innovation and excellence.

With a wealth of healthcare research, development and innovation, the UK is home to some of the world’s most distinguished scientists and innovators and Arab Health allowed exhibitors to highlight exactly how their pioneering products are improving healthcare around the world.

Brenmoor from Skipton, UK, who are the leading manufacturers of printed wristbands and labels, enjoyed great success at the exhibition. Showcasing at Arab Health for the first time, the company signed an order on the second day of the show for 100,000 wristbands and are now looking to roll out patient identification across the Middle East.

Paul Brennan of Brenmoor, said:

“Arab Health was the ideal platform for us to exhibit wristbands which have been designed to stop patients being wrongly identified and mismatched whilst they are in hospital care. There is an urgent need to reduce identification errors in the vast majority of hospitals throughout the world and we believe that printed identification bands will provide that solution, ensuring the right patient gets the right care.
“We are already in advanced discussions with a number of companies from across the Middle East who are eager to supply our wristbands to hospitals across the region.”
