About BMJ Future Health Middle East
BMJ Future Health Middle East is the regional edition of BMJ’s global Future Health community and conference series, focused on practical, evidence-based healthcare innovation. Delivered by BMJ Group, it brings together healthcare leaders, clinicians, innovators and policymakers to explore how digital tools, data and new models of care can improve outcomes for patients and health systems.
Launching in Doha and touring across the Middle East in the coming years, the event combines regional priorities with global expertise through expert-led sessions, collaboration and year-round community engagement, supporting sustainable, equitable and real-world healthcare solutions.
Proudly incorporating
As part of the two-day conference, BMJ Future Health Middle East will incorporate the BMJ | Virginia Mason Institute Future Health Leaders Middle East programme. This is an invitation-only leadership stream designed for a senior audience, including Chief Executive Officers, board members, medical directors and executive teams from across the healthcare sector in the Middle East.
Hosted by BMJ Group in collaboration with the Virginia Mason Institute, the programme recognises that healthcare systems are facing unprecedented disruption. Rising system complexity, rapid digital transformation, workforce pressures and evolving patient expectations are fundamentally reshaping how care is delivered and how organisations are led.
