Event Overview
An unforgettable opening day event at WHX Dubai 2026 celebrating healthcare professionals who have made extraordinary contributions to human health and inspiring future generations.
Purpose & Vision:
-
Recognize exceptional individuals improving global well-being.
-
Inspire Emirati youth toward healthcare and life sciences careers.
-
Showcase the UAE’s global leadership in medical innovation.
Background:
Every day, healthcare professionals perform heroic acts — often quietly, always selflessly. On February 9th, we will share their stories and honor the unsung heroes of the medical industry as a way to inspire the next generation to pursue careers in healthcare and life sciences.
This event is hosted by Kallman Worldwide, organizer of the USA Partnership Pavilion at trade shows around the world and the company behind the U.S. presence at WHX for the past thirty years. Kallman’s mission is to champion American innovation, compassion, and leadership on the global stage, and through its CSR initiative, Kallman Foundation, is helping to build the pipeline of future STEM leaders.
