The World Health Care Congress Middle East, co-sponsored by the Health Authority and the Tourism Authority of Abu Dhabi, is the most prestigious health care, convening more than 500 global thought leaders and key decision-makers from all sectors of health care to share global best practices. The 2010 Congress will take place 5-7, December 2010, Abu Dhabi, UAE. The Congress will feature the top industry influencers, including health ministers, leading government officials, hospital directors, IT innovations, pharmaceutical and medical device companies and health care industry suppliers

He explains how the system is broken down into three parts: regulations, funding, and providing, which benefits the patient and increases the quality of service. He discusses how Abu Dhabi's reform is no different from the U.S. because both are looking to reach the same goal better access, affordability, and quality of care.
