Shaping The Future of Primary Healthcare

It is my pleasure and privilege to welcome you to the 1st EHS Conference: Shaping the Future of Primary Healthcare, taking place on 22–23 September 2026 in Dubai, UAE Your presence reflects a shared commitment to advancing primary healthcare in our region and beyond.

Primary healthcare has always been the trusted frontline of our health systems. Many of us here have built our careers on its core values of continuity, accessibility, and human connection. Today, we carry the additional responsibility of modernizing primary care thoughtfully, ensuring it remains resilient, relevant, and responsive to the evolving needs of our communities.

This conference is designed to balance strategic vision with practical application. Through the program, we will explore how innovation can translate into real, measurable improvements in care delivery.

At the same time, progress must be guided by strong governance and ethical clarity. Protecting trust, reinforcing the doctor-patient relationship, and ensuring equitable access are central to every innovation we pursue. These principles are non-negotiable as they form the foundation of meaningful and sustainable transformation.

At EHS, we are committed to advancing primary healthcare that is future-ready yet deeply human, honoring what has always worked while embracing what lies ahead. I am confident this conference will catalyze collaboration, insight, and lasting progress. Thank you for joining us. I look forward to welcoming you personally and to the meaningful outcomes that will emerge from our time together.

Warm regards,

Dr. Kareema Alraeesi
