Organised by SEHA Al Dhafra Hospitals under the patronage of the Ruler's Representative Court in Al Dhafra Region, the forum brought community health education, professional exchange and student participation into one setting. Its theme,“Health is a Way of Life,” placed family well-being at the centre of the three-day programme during the UAE's Year of Family 2026.

Community discussions highlighted Enhancing family health, promoting health awareness and a culture of prevention, raising awareness of available healthcare services, and encouraging students to innovate and explore healthcare specialties. The initiative targets various segments of the community, including families, senior citizens, students, healthcare professionals, and partners. These sessions formed the public-facing strand of the forum, alongside opportunities to meet healthcare providers and learn about services available in the region.

Jaber Ali Almarar, Chief Support Services Officer and Chair of the Organizing Committee of the 5th Al Dhafra Hospitals Health Forum, said:“Health information needs to make sense in the context of people's daily lives. Our role is to listen to the questions families raise and explain the care available in a way they can use. The forum brought those conversations into a shared community setting.”

The scientific programme provided a separate space for specialised learning through an international medical conference and workshops. Discussions examined Promoting the concept that health is a daily practice, not solely associated with treatment connecting the exchange of experience with questions relevant to participating professionals.

Students contributed through the fifth edition of the competition for the use of artificial intelligence in healthcare. Their involvement added an educational dimension to the forum's wider consideration of future healthcare roles, alongside opportunities to explore medicine, nursing, and allied health professions.

Dr. Mariam Rashed Al Mehairbi, Chief Medical Officer and Chair of the Scientific Committee of the 5th Al Dhafra Hospitals Health at SEHA Al Dhafra Hospitals, said:“Useful discussions often begin when a specialist's experience connects with a practical question from another team. We want colleagues to take those questions back into their professional conversations and continue learning from one another. For students, meeting people working in healthcare can also make possible career paths easier to understand.”

The accompanying exhibition brought government and private-sector participants together with PureHealth subsidiaries and strategic partners to present healthcare technologies and services. In addition to the educational activities, it provided an opportunity for organisations to explore strategies for collaboration and investment to address the healthcare requirements of the region.

Through its hospitals in Al Dhafra, SEHA continues to connect patient care with family health education and workforce development, while helping students explore opportunities for further study and careers in the UAE healthcare sector.
