H.E. Mr Mansoor bin Ebrahim bin Saad Al Mahmoud, Minister of Public Health, inaugurated the second edition of Qatar’s International Healthcare and Medical Exhibition and Conference – Qatar Medicare 2025, held under the patronage of the Ministry of Public Health (MoPH).
The event, organised by IFP Qatar in collaboration with Qatar Chamber, runs from November 11 to 13, 2025, at the Doha Exhibition and Convention Center (DECC), bringing together 100 local and international companies from across the healthcare ecosystem — including 64 local exhibitors and 36 global participants.
This year’s edition showcases the latest advancements in healthcare innovation, medical technology, and sustainable health systems, featuring healthcare professionals, hospital representatives, medical service providers, technology experts, and investors from around the world.
Public-Private Collaboration in Healthcare
Ms Ibtihaj Al Ahmadani, Chair of the Health Committee at Qatar Chamber, reaffirmed the Chamber’s support for achieving self-sufficiency in Qatar’s healthcare and pharmaceutical sectors.
“The Qatar Chamber is committed to achieving self-sufficiency in the medical and pharmaceutical sectors. Qatar Medicare reflects the strong public-private collaboration driving Qatar’s healthcare landscape,” Al Ahmadani said.
She noted that this year’s event includes the participation of key governmental and semi-governmental entities, such as Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC), as the official partner, and the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT), as the government partner.
International representation spans 14 countries, featuring leading global organisations including the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC), UNESCO, World Health Organisation (WHO), and the International Labour Organisation (ILO), alongside numerous regional and private-sector partners.
According to Fitch Solutions, Qatar’s healthcare sector is set for rapid expansion, with total health expenditure projected to grow at a CAGR of 14% by 2029, reaching USD 11.5 billion (QAR 41.86 billion) — positioning Qatar as the third-largest healthcare market in the GCC and tenth in the MENA region.
