His Excellency was joined by Prof Orazio Schillaci, the Italian Minister of Health, Joseph Romanelli, President of Human Health International at MSD, Switzerland, and Christophe Weber, President and CEO of Takeda, Japan.

During the session, His Excellency Al Mansoori emphasised the potential of AI to process large amounts of data and turn it into actionable insights. He also spoke about the opportunity to use AI to provide equal access to data-driven healthcare solutions worldwide.

He said: "The progress in AI not only gives us smarter tools to process data, but more importantly, it allows us to use this knowledge to make informed decisions. A healthy population is the foundation of a thriving economy. When citizens are healthy, productivity, innovation, and communities flourish."

His Excellency also shared Abu Dhabi’s vision of creating the most intelligent and efficient health system. He highlighted how the Emirate is using advanced technologies, real-world evidence, and global partnerships to address future health challenges and ensure a healthier future for all.

The Emirate is working with global partners, including governments, industry leaders, and academic institutions, to tackle common challenges and develop innovative, sustainable healthcare models that serve diverse populations.

Through partnerships with organisations like Takeda and MSD, Abu Dhabi is advancing personalised medicine, rare disease treatments, and precision healthcare, setting a global benchmark for healthcare innovation.

He invited participants to join Abu Dhabi Global Health Week in April 2025, under the theme "Towards Longevity: Redefining Health and Well-Being."
