The Hamdan Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Foundation for Medical and Educational Sciences participated in the second edition of the Dubai Medical Research Forum (DMRF 2025), organized by the Dubai Health Authority on September 12–13 at the Grand Hyatt Dubai. The event convened leading researchers, healthcare executives, and policymakers from the UAE and abroad to explore the future of medical research and innovation.
At its dedicated pavilion within the exhibition, the Foundation highlighted its key medical initiatives and community-focused research programs, with a strong emphasis on its medical awards, scientific studies, and contributions to advancing healthcare.
Dr. Salama Al Muhairi, Director of Medical Excellence at the Foundation, took part in a panel discussion where she outlined efforts to promote excellence in medical education and research. She emphasized initiatives designed to foster an innovative knowledge environment that elevates the quality of both education and healthcare services.
Commenting on the occasion, Dr. Al Muhairi said:
“This forum represents a vital strategic platform to showcase best practices, address shared challenges, and activate research partnerships among leading institutions regionally and internationally. At the Foundation, we believe that excellence in healthcare begins with a deep understanding of community needs and is realized through research that shapes flexible, world-class health policies. Our participation this year reaffirms our commitment to strengthening a culture of continuous learning and expanding collaboration with decision-makers, academics, and researchers in pursuit of a healthcare system that is more efficient, equitable, and innovative.”
The forum reflects growing momentum toward building a modern, integrated research ecosystem founded on ethical standards and smart regulations. It also aligns with the UAE’s vision to establish itself as a global leader in healthcare, with high-level discussions addressing patient-centered innovation, research governance, and enhanced collaboration between healthcare institutions, universities, and scientific centers.
