Building resilience

The choice of location and timing is significant; Saudi Arabia is responsible for accommodating millions of visitors and pilgrims annually, especially around Hajj and Umrah. As these numbers continue to grow year on year, now more than ever is critical for national and regional authorities to continue to develop its procedures, systems and infrastructure in order to ensure the safety and security of their residents and tourists.
The conference is organised by Clarion Events Middle East, who have organised similar events such as Austere Medical Environments (London, UK), Trauma Innovation (London, UK), Remote Healthcare Middle East (Abu Dhabi, UAE) and Remote Healthcare Asia (Singapore).
