Pulse at WHX Dubai 2026: Made-in-India Medical Equipment on the World Stage
In February 2026, the Pulse team took its medical equipment to WHX Dubai, one of the world's biggest healthcare exhibitions and the event once known as Arab Health. Here is what the event is, who went, and what we came back with.
Pulse exhibited at WHX Dubai 2026 (formerly Arab Health) from 9 to 12 February 2026 at the Dubai Exhibition Centre, Expo City Dubai, at booth S1-L9. The Pulse team, led by co-founders Anshul Sharma and Nishant Goel, met doctors, hospital owners and distributors from many countries and showed Pulse's made-in-India medical equipment.
What Is WHX Dubai?
WHX Dubai, short for World Health Expo, is the new name of Arab Health, a healthcare trade show with a 50-year history. Its organiser, Informa Markets, renamed it WHX, and in 2026 it moved for the first time from the Dubai World Trade Centre to the larger Dubai Exhibition Centre in Expo City Dubai. Its sister show for laboratories, the former Medlab Middle East, is now called WHX Labs.
The 2026 edition was the biggest in the event's history. Organisers expected more than 235,000 professional visits and over 4,300 exhibitors from more than 180 countries at WHX Dubai, and over 4,800 exhibitors across WHX Dubai and WHX Labs together. It was held under the patronage of the UAE Ministry of Health and Prevention.

Pulse at Booth S1-L9
Before the show, the Andhra Pradesh MedTech Zone (AMTZ) in Visakhapatnam, where Pulse runs its R&D hub, announced that Pulse would be representing India's medical technology in Dubai under the line "World-Class Innovation, Made in AMTZ".
The Pulse team in Dubai was led by co-founders Anshul Sharma and Nishant Goel, with Dhruv Chaturvedi, Lalit Kumar Parashar and Rahul Sharma.
Over four days, the team met doctors, hospital owners, distributors and buyers from many countries. Some conversations were quick introductions; others turned into product demonstrations and detailed talks about what hospitals need. As the team wrote after the show: "At Pulse, we don't just build medical technology. We build impact."
India at WHX Dubai 2026
Pulse was one of about 400 Indian companies at the show. An India Pavilion organised by PHARMEXCIL under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry showed pharmaceuticals, medical devices and healthcare solutions, and was opened by India's Consul General in Dubai, Satish Sivan. Industry leaders at the event described India's medical devices sector as one of the fastest-growing in the world.
Why WHX Dubai Matters for Pulse
- Global buyers in one place. Hospitals, distributors and health authorities from the Middle East, Africa and Asia attend, so one week gives years' worth of introductions.
- Showing made-in-India quality. Pulse designs and supplies equipment with Indian manufacturing partners, and Dubai is where that work stands next to the world's biggest medtech brands.
- Learning what hospitals need. Every conversation at the booth tells us which products, prices and service terms matter in each market.
Two months later, the team took the same message to Nairobi: read Pulse at MedExpo Africa 2026.
