Doha, Qatar: Minister of Public Health, H E Mansoor bin Ebrahim bin Saad Al Mahmoud, inaugurated the second edition of Qatar’s International Healthcare and Medical Exhibition and Conference, Qatar Medicare.

Organised by IFP Qatar in collaboration with Qatar Chamber (QC) and held under the patronage of the Ministry of Public Health, the event takes place from November 11 to 13, 2025, at the Doha Exhibition and Convention Centre (DECC). Qatar Medicare brings together 100 local and international companies under one roof—64 local and 36 international exhibitors—including healthcare professionals, hospital representatives, medical service providers, distributors of medical supplies and equipment, technology experts, and investors.

Chair of the health committee at Qatar Chamber, Ibtihaj Al Ahmadani said: “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. The event features the participation and sponsorship of a wide range of governmental and semi-governmental entities active in Qatar’s healthcare sector, with Hamad Medical Corporation serving as the official partner and the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology as the government partner.

It also includes extensive international participation from 14 countries around the world, led by prominent global institutions such as the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC), UNESCO, the World Health Organization (WHO), and the International Labour Organization (ILO), alongside numerous regional and international partners and private sector companies, including hospitals, medical centres, insurance firms, and medical equipment suppliers.”

According to estimates by Fitch Solutions, a subsidiary of Fitch Ratings, Qatar’s healthcare sector is projected to experience accelerated growth, with total health expenditure expected to increase at a compound annual growth rate of 14% by 2029, reaching $11.5bn (QR41.86bn). This expansion is set to position Qatar as the third-largest healthcare market in the GCC and the tenth-largest in the MENA region.
