Planning for Arab Health?
In the medical sector, perception is everything. Nerve Agency builds pristine, high-gloss, and structure-heavy stands that reflect the precision and hygiene standards of the global healthcare industry.
About Arab Health:
The Region’s Medical Epicenter
Since its inauguration in 1975, Arab Health has grown to become the largest healthcare exhibition in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. It is the definitive platform where the global medical community gathers to trade the next generation of healthcare technology.
Occupying 100% of the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC), Arab Health is distinct from other trade shows due to its specific audience profile: Hospital Directors, Ministry of Health officials, and Medical Distributors. The environment is less “flashy” than a tech show and more focused on professionalism, hygiene, and trust.
Key Exhibition Sectors & Zones
Arab Health is zoned by product category to manage the massive flow of visitors:
Medical Equipment & Devices
The largest sector, featuring heavy machinery (MRI, CT Scanners) that often requires reinforced flooring and specialized power supplies.
Orthopaedics & Physiotherapy
Zones often requiring open-plan demo areas for mobility devices.
Imaging & Diagnostics
A highly technical zone where exhibitors often require "dark rooms" or enclosed pods to demonstrate sensitive imaging software.
IT Systems & Solutions
The digital health wing, where booth designs are increasingly merging sterile medical white with tech-focused LED integration.

Arab Health: Technical Guide for Exhibitors
While held at the same venue as GITEX, the build standards for Arab Health differ significantly in terms of aesthetics and finishing. The “Medical Look” requires flawless execution, as any imperfection in paint or joinery is immediately visible on white surfaces.
The “Clinical Finish” Requirement
-
Paint & Surfaces: Unlike other shows where raw textures are trendy, Arab Health exhibitors demand High-Gloss White (Duco) finishes. We utilize spray-painting techniques rather than roll-on paint to ensure a mirror-like, clinical finish that matches medical equipment.
-
Lighting: Lighting is critical. We prioritize 6000K (Daylight White) lighting to ensure medical instruments look clean and precise. Warm lighting (3000K) is generally avoided on the product floor.
Double Deckers & VIP Areas
-
Privacy is Key: Arab Health is a deal-making event. Most large stands (over 50sqm) dedicate significant space to private, sound-insulated meeting rooms or Double-Decker upper levels to host Ministry delegations away from the public eye.
-
Rigging: Overhead branding is essential for navigation. We coordinate early with DWTC to secure rigging points for massive “Cube” branding that acts as a lighthouse for visitors in the crowded halls.
Nerve Agency: Your Partner for Arab Health
At Nerve Agency, we understand that a medical booth must look as precise as the instruments it sells. We move away from “noisy” designs and focus on Architectural Minimalism and flow.
Our Arab Health Specializations:
- Heavy Equipment Logistics: We have the experience to manage the "move-in" of multi-ton MRI and X-Ray machines, coordinating directly with venue forklifts and freight handlers to position them before the floor is laid.
- Hygiene-First Design: We incorporate easy-to-clean surfaces, ample storage for disposables, and integrated waste management solutions that keep the booth looking pristine throughout the 4-day event.
- Hospitality Zones: We design barista and hospitality counters that serve as the "heart" of the stand, keeping potential clients engaged in conversation without leaving your territory.
More than just a booth, an exhibition space is an opportunity to captivate, engage, and leave a lasting impact.
Frequently Asked Questions
Arab Health is traditionally the first major event of the year, usually taking place in late January or early February at DWTC.
Due to the high-gloss finishes and rigorous quality demands, fabrication costs are slightly higher than average. Expect to invest between AED 2,000 - AED 3,500 per sqm for a premium, custom-built stand with high-end furniture and AV.
Yes. In the main halls (Sheikh Saeed, Halls 1-8), the standard maximum build height is 4.0m. However, with specific setback permissions, you can build up to 5.0m or 6.0m. Double-deckers are permitted but require structural approval.
Yes, but you must coordinate with the official freight forwarder for "heavy lifts." Nerve Agency handles the positioning of these machines on the stand, but the delivery to the venue is handled by the official logistics partner.
