Dubai, UAE

A space for responsibility, foresight and shared purpose

GHAITH 2025 is a global humanitarian and scientific platform, launched from Dubai (the City of the Future) under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum. It stands at the intersection of innovation, ethics, and compassion, embodying the UAE’s commitment to place human dignity at the centre of progress.

The name Ghaith in Arabic evokes the rain that nourishes when most needed: timely, merciful, and life-sustaining. In that same spirit, GHAITH 2025 brings together institutions, professionals, and communities to rethink the role of artificial intelligence and technology in medicine. It is not simply a meeting, but a collective movement, affirming that healthcare must remain human-centred, that technology must submit to ethics and law, and that knowledge must serve humanity with equity and responsibility.

A Three-Part Event

GHAITH is a network of three interlinked platforms, united by one vision: ensuring that innovation in medicine remains governed by ethics, integrity, and the common good.

  • The International Summit on Medical AI Co-hosted by the International Society of Medical AI (ISMAI) and the Balsam Healthcare Group, this scientific symposium is the core of GHAITH 2025. Over two days, leaders in medicine, science, law, and policy gather in Dubai to deliberate on governance frameworks, clinical oversight, regulatory responsibility, and the ethical use of AI in health. Far from a commercial or technical exhibition, the summit is a high-level meeting where transparency, accountability, and patient dignity are placed at the heart of digital transformation.
  • The Global Medical Excellence Award (GMEA) organised by Dubai Quality Group, the GMEA celebrates individuals and institutions that exemplify excellence in healthcare through evidencebased practice, ethical innovation, and community outcomes. With categories spanning hospitals, clinics, universities, and innovators, the award process is rigorous, involving site visits and ethical reviews. The annual ceremony, held during GHAITH 2025, honours achievements that elevate both science and service.
  • The Godfather of Medicine in the UAE Initiative launched under the aegis of Dubai Quality Group, in collaboration with Balsam Academy this initiative commemorates the legacy of the late Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum, whose leadership shaped the nation’s healthcare landscape. Rooted in quality, evidence, and mercy, the initiative includes a formal tribute during the summit, a documentary film, publication of the English edition of The Godfather of Medicine in the UAE, honorary awards for medical-humanitarian excellence, and the launch of mobile clinics dedicated to cancer patients. It is both a memorial and a living national project, extending his humanitarian vision into future generations.

The Shared Vision

Together, these partners affirm that GHAITH 2025 is not a commercial showcase, nor a purely technical gathering. It is a collective undertaking that balances knowledge with mercy, innovation with conscience, and science with humanity. From Dubai, in the UAE’s Year of the Community 2025, GHAITH sends a clear message to the world:

  • No technology has value unless it serves humanity.
  • No healthcare system is sustainable unless it is just.
  • No intelligence is meaningful unless guided by ethics and law.

By aligning institutional strength, academic leadership, and humanitarian vision, GHAITH 2025 positions Dubai as a global hub for dialogue on medical AI - where care meets innovation.
