RE: arabhealthonline
RE: arabhealthonlineUnited Arab Emirates: pop. about 3 million of whom 20% are Nationals (actual citizens of the country) all others are expats working there) Capital and Largest City: Abu Dhabi (1.2m) #2 Dubai: 1 million (will very soon be larger than Abu Dhabi) #3 Sharjah (borders Dubai) 1/2million pop. - a significant bedroom area for Dubai.
Dubai, certainly is the economic hub of the Gulf Region and I'm pleased to see that we are exhibiting there. Dubai has very progressive leadership and you can bet hospitals and first responders there will be interested in our products. Almost directly across the freeway from the exhibition hall, Medical City, is under construction. It's a huge area that will be home to many different hospitals and research facilities. There is a high standard of medical care in the UAE. Let's see.. export 2 million barrels of oil a day times $45.00 times 365 days = about US$33 billion a year (you can buy a lot of good everything with that). Compared to other countries diabetes and related heart problems are extremely high amongst the national population.
The armed forces in the UAE were one of the first to purchase RAMP technology to test for biological terrorism.
Of note: now under construction in Dubai... World's tallest building sitting on top of the worlds largest shopping mall. To see: go to Google Images and type in Burj Dubai.....
