Middle East Summit 2026
Advancing Healthcare Excellence Through IT
Author
Spencer Corbett
In February 2026, KLAS hosted our third Middle East summit, bringing together 132 industry leaders—66 healthcare provider and ministry representatives and 66 vendor, firm, and investor attendees—to discuss how to advance healthcare excellence through healthcare IT. The two-day summit featured an opening keynote from H.H. Sheikha Dr. Alia Al Qassimi and a closing keynote from H.E. Maryam Matar. Additionally, the summit included an awards ceremony recognizing the 2026 Best in KLAS winners for acute care EHR and PACS in the Middle East/Africa as well as the KLAS Arch Collaborative EHR Experience Pinnacle Award winners. This overview draws from ongoing KLAS research, a pre-summit survey, and insights from the summit’s tabletop discussions to highlight healthcare IT trends occurring in the Middle East.
