Dr. Ali H. D. Wari
Director, International Department, Beijing Puhua International Hospital
"It was a privilege to participate in the Middle East International Medical Tourism Congress held in Abu Dhabi on May 3, 2025. The event convened global leaders in healthcare to exchange insights on advancing cross-border medical collaboration. Representing Beijing Puhua International Hospital, I was encouraged by the increasing interest in China’s specialized medical services—particularly in neurology, neurosurgery, and regenerative medicine. The congress served as a vital platform for fostering dialogue, exploring strategic partnerships, and identifying avenues to enhance patient access across the region. Abu Dhabi continues to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of international healthcare. I commend the organizers for their vision and professionalism, and I look forward to further collaboration with stakeholders across the Middle East."
