Ascom Wireless Solutions, one of the world's leading providers of mission-critical wireless communication solutions for healthcare, will use its presence at the upcoming Arab Health 2016 event to underscore its commitment and involvement in the Middle East and Asia.

"Arab Health 2016 is our showcase event of the year for the rapidly growing Middle East market," says Ahmad Al Jassim, Managing Director Ascom Middle East. "We have good news to share, such as how our innovative solutions are helping hospitals become state-of-the-art organisations offering high levels of care bringing them closer to the people that really matter. There's also the news that Ascom is committed to focusing on healthcare by providing integrated workflow intelligence solutions, and how we are working with our partners to achieve this."

Ascom's strategic focus on healthcare calls for the sector to generate at least 75% of the company's annual revenue by 2020. "It's an ambitious goal," says Al Jassim. "But with a track record that includes thousands of healthcare installations, we are well placed to reach this objective. Our healthcare customers in the Middle East and Asia stand to gain from our deep understanding of the sector and the tremendous challenges they face."

The Ascom space at Arab Health 2016, stand S3D70, is a 64m2 display, meeting and multi-media area. "This is to date the company's biggest presence at the exhibition," adds Al Jassim, "and will help healthcare decision-makers really understand and experience our solutions' benefits."

More than 4 000 companies are due to exhibit at Arab Health 2016, to be held January 25-28 at the Dubai International Conference and Exhibition Centre. Says Al Jassim in conclusion: "With 130 000-plus healthcare professionals from 163 countries expected to visit, Arab Health 2016 is an ideal showcase for our innovative solutions, and for meeting all our old and new friends."
