Community health and professional development
The public programme will feature interactive health talks, awareness activities and opportunities for residents to engage directly with healthcare providers.

He noted that the forum provides an opportunity to make health information more accessible and encourage families to engage with healthcare professionals.
Bringing providers into a community setting also allows residents to ask questions, understand available services and discuss their healthcare needs.
Alongside the community programme, the event will host an international medical conference featuring scientific lectures and specialist workshops.
The sessions will enable healthcare professionals to exchange expertise, discuss clinical experiences and explore approaches to improving service delivery.
Dr. Mariam Rashed Al Mehairbi, Chief Medical Officer at SEHA Al Dhafra Hospitals, said the scientific programme would help healthcare professionals connect specialised knowledge with the practical demands of their work.
Student participation will also expose young people to the different professions that support healthcare delivery and the qualifications required to pursue them.
