Conference Overview
On 3–4 October 2026, the ISPOR UAE Chapter convened a two-day event that brought together health system leaders, payers, insurers, providers, pharmacists, health technology assessment (HTA) experts, supply chain specialists and policy makers from across the Middle East.
The conference was designed to serve as a regional platform for evidence-based dialogue on the sweeping health system reforms currently underway — and to translate that dialogue into actionable policy insights.
Key Objectives
Under the theme "United in Health. Under One Dome.", ISPOR UAE Chapter Day – October 2026 aimed to advance regional dialogue on universal health insurance, healthcare financing, and sustainable health system transformation. Bringing together diverse perspectives from across the healthcare ecosystem, the event provided a collaborative platform for sharing country experiences, exchanging evidence-based insights, and exploring practical approaches to strengthening healthcare systems across the Middle East.
With a strong focus on translating scientific evidence into actionable policy recommendations, the event was guided by five key strategic objectives:
-
Establish a clear regional overview of countries' positions along the universal health insurance reform pathway and the healthcare financing and delivery models they are pursuing.
-
Provide lessons from countries that went through the universal health insurance path, particularly Egypt and Saudi Arabia, to guide decisions being made today in the UAE and across the Gulf.
-
Assess the pivotal role of HTA, real-world evidence (RWE), value-based agreements, and pharmaceutical pricing strategies in ensuring the long-term financial sustainability of universal health insurance systems.
-
Bring together key stakeholder groups, including payers, insurers, healthcare providers, pharmacists, HTA experts, supply chain specialists, and policymakers, on a single platform to address challenges, align priorities and incentives, and develop practical, actionable solutions.
-
Produce ISPOR-endorsed, actionable policy recommendations to help decision-makers in the UAE and the broader region implement best practices for the development of universal health insurance systems.
Scientific Program Highlights: Connecting Expertise, Evidence, and Healthcare Policy
At the heart of ISPOR UAE Chapter Day – October 2026 was a comprehensive scientific program designed to encourage meaningful dialogue, facilitate regional knowledge exchange, and address the evolving challenges of healthcare systems across the Middle East.
Bringing together 50+ distinguished speakers across 4 scientific sessions and 18 expert roundtable discussions, the two-day conference provided a collaborative platform for health system leaders, payers, insurers, healthcare providers, pharmacists, health technology assessment (HTA) experts, supply chain specialists, and policymakers.
The scientific discussions explored ongoing healthcare reforms, universal health insurance implementation, sustainable healthcare financing, evidence-based decision-making, and the growing importance of HTA and real-world evidence (RWE) in shaping healthcare policies.
Through a combination of expert-led sessions and interactive roundtables, participants exchanged country-specific experiences, examined regional challenges, and explored practical approaches to strengthening healthcare systems and improving access to quality care.
Beyond scientific exchange, the program aimed to bridge the gap between evidence and policy, translating expert insights and regional experiences into actionable recommendations that can support more sustainable, efficient, and patient-centered healthcare systems across the Middle East.
