Chairman’s Message
Building the Future of Medical Tourism Together

It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the 4th Edition of the Middle East International Medical Tourism Congress & Fair (MIMTC 2026), taking place in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
Since its first edition, MIMTC has evolved into a growing international platform connecting healthcare providers, medical tourism facilitators, insurers, investors, government authorities, and industry leaders from the region and beyond. Our previous editions in Dubai and Abu Dhabi have strengthened our commitment to creating meaningful connections, knowledge exchange, and cross-border healthcare opportunities.
For the 2026 edition, we have made a strategic decision to host MIMTC in Abu Dhabi following a comprehensive review of regional, economic, healthcare, and business developments.
Abu Dhabi today offers an exceptional healthcare ecosystem, international connectivity, investment opportunities, and a growing strategic focus on medical tourism and international patients. We believe this environment provides our participants and partners with valuable opportunities to develop new relationships, expand their international reach, and explore new business opportunities.
MIMTC 2026 will therefore go beyond a traditional congress. It will serve as a business and knowledge platform, bringing together healthcare leaders and decision-makers through conferences, exhibitions, B2B meetings, workshops, networking, and international partnerships.
Our vision remains clear: to build a leading platform for medical tourism and international patient services in the Middle East, connecting regional expertise with global healthcare opportunities.
I sincerely thank our partners, sponsors, exhibitors, speakers, delegates, and participants for their continued trust and support. Your commitment is what enables MIMTC to grow and create lasting value for the medical tourism community.
I look forward to welcoming you to MIMTC Abu Dhabi 2026 and to building the future of medical tourism together.
