Dr Mohammed Abuelkhair added: “Expo 2020 Dubai is a great opportunity for conference organizers such as MCO to take on new initiatives and build something unique for the future. We would like to thank the UAE Government, and Expo 2020 Dubai, for giving MCO the opportunity to show the world what the UAE has to offer in healthcare."
