Global Action Plan
Promote Worker Health – Let the Business Thrive
Under the patronage of H.E. Abdulla Bin Khalid Al Qahtani, Minister of Public Health, Doha.
Event Summary
Increased globalisation, fluctuating business climate, stringent regulatory pressures and difficult
workplace environments are posing wider occupational health challenges to employers now more
than ever before. The economic downturn has downsized employee health systems and preventive
infrastructures; which is making effective interventions at the workplace difficult.
The consequent rise in occupational accidents, diseases and work related fatalities has thoroughly
shaken the industrial sector and put the spotlight firmly back on efficient adoption of a sustainable
prevention strategy to counter major occupational health threats.
With the aim of reducing the economic burdens of workplace injury and illness, the Employee Health
& Wellbeing Conference is designed to propagate high quality health care of our major asset –
HUMAN CAPITAL. The Scientific Committee aims at delivering a revolutionary conference program;
that will enhance professional capabilities of OH practitioner and fosters an unbiased platform to
share best practise guidance and discover technological advancements.
