Global Investment Summits are pleased to announce the 2nd annual Iraq & Regional Health Summit, organised with the support of governments in the region in an effort to regenerate their ageing health systems. Perhaps the most pressing of all the needs of Iraq today is the rehabilitation of hospitals and the establishment of regular and professional healthcare. There is an urgent need for hospital equipment, furniture and supplies, pharmaceuticals, intensive care, orthopedics, prostheses and prostheses centres, psychiatric services in addition to emergency, rehabilitation equipment, as well as information and communications technologies.
Following substantial increases in Central Government budgets, the spotlight has turned to the various healthcare systems in the region and the importance of maintaining healthy populations to drive economic development. Plans are now underway in the above countries for modernisation of the sector, including the expansion of facilities, investment in high quality equipment, extensive procurement programmes and advances in facility management and human resources development.
IRHS 2011 promises to be a landmark in middle-eastern health care, and will provide a platform that enables Government Ministers, leading international organisations, health care professionals and private companies to sit together and hold private, one-to-one discussions and create solutions allowing healthcare in the region to return to its previous status as one of the worlds leaders. These discussions and ensuing actions will enable not only improvements, but also radical change in areas such as infrastructure, procurement, training and logistics as well as significantly improving patient treatments, including preventable diseases such as tuberculosis, child health care and diagnostics.
With high ranking representatives and key decision makers from across the region participating, the unparalleled opportunity to be part of this health care sector revitalisation makes IRHS a must attend in the 2011 calendar.
