Dubai, UAE : The Dubai Health Authority (DHA) and Arab Health Exhibit & Congress introduced today that they have forged a calculated partnership that offers healthcare professionals in the region an advanced insight right into the future of 3D clinical printing. With the theme Fast Forward 2030, the 3D Medical Printing Area at Arab Health features the latest pioneering modern technologies in 3D clinical printing, along with hands-on workshops and a meeting with regional and international speakers; all in cooperation with the DHA and other leading global business being experts in 3D clinical printing.

Discussing the partnership, Dr Mohammad Al Redha, Director of the Executive Office for Organisational Transformation at the DHA, stated, "In accordance with the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, the DHA has actually prioritized cultivating the development of future modern technologies such as 3D printing in healthcare.This cooperation provides us a chance to hold roundtable discussions with some of the best minds in the industry and display interactive presentations of 3D models to site visitors. The DHA's partnership with Arab Health's 3D Medical Printing Area intends to develop meaningful conversation and activity regarding the three core columns of 3D printing: recognition, policy and application."

For the first time in the region, medical care professionals have the unique possibility to experience and learn from real-time 3D printing of hard and soft tissue for breakdown during sensible hands on training sessions. With seeing a team of medical professionals showcasing their abilities on 3D printed cells beforehand procedures, delegates are able to recognize the immense capacity of 3D printing in a clinical setting, along with begin practicing skills for the future.

Mentioning the benefits of 3D printing, Dr Al Redha said, "3D printing is revolutionising healthcare, from the possibilities of printing medicine to substantially changing the design behind prosthetics. The ability to print such penalty and elaborate details is not readily available on any other technology. By generating 100% similar versions of organs, Additive Production (AM) aids enhance patient results in a lot of ways such as preoperative medical preparation particularly for complex surgeries. Nevertheless, is not only advantageous for physician but also helps breakthrough client education."

" Whether it's through showing a person a 3D published replica of their malignant kidney to encourage them to undertake life-saving surgery, or giving a youngster new hope with a prosthetic arm, 3D printing is readied to touch the lives of lots of patients in the UAE," Dr Al Redha continued.

This new technology will allow health centers to generate practical surgical designs that combine full-colour, multi-material 3D printing to resemble soft and hard human cells, as well as full colour ability for enhanced realism. Not just will this enable clinical pupils and training doctors to practice techniques and develop skills on sensible versions, but it will certainly additionally enable doctors to determine the best procedure before entering the theater room, delivering financial savings in running times and improving patient care.
