The Minister of Health, Family and Social Support, Geela Ali, has stated that a close connection among various parties in the health sector was visible this year at the Family and Health Expo, highlighting an opportunity to strengthen collaboration. Speaking at the event, the Minister noted that unlike previous years, the expo brought together professionals from various specialties within the health sector in one place for important consultations and information exchange. The Minister added that this year's Expo demonstrated the progress of the health sector to a great extent. He commended the staff of the Ministry of Health, the participation from the private sector, and the assistance from HDC for their collaborative efforts in successfully conducting the Expo. Former Health Ministers Ahmed Abdullah, Mohamed Mustafa Hussein, Dr. Amina Jameel, Dr. Ahmed Jamshid Mohamed, and Ahmed Naseem, along with former Gender and Family Minister Dr. Amal Ali, and Shidaat Sharif, visited the Expo. They praised the highlights of the Expo and the work done at the stalls, highlighting the efforts made by employees for the advancement of the health sector. The Minister stated that inviting former ministers who served in the health and social sectors and receiving their feedback provided very complete inspiration.

Panel discussions for experienced health professionals and useful information on topics where public awareness is low were also part of the event.
