    This event will also include nine other award categories including Excellence in Imaging and Diagnostics, Excellence in Surgery Services, Excellence in Laboratory, Excellence in Patient Centred Care, Excellence in Hospital Emergency Department, Human Resources Development Award, Excellence in Electronic Health Records, Excellence in Patient Safety and Outstanding Contribution of an Individual to the Middle East Healthcare Industry.

    To enter the awards, professionals involved in the healthcare industry in the Middle East should nominate individuals or organisations that deserve recognition in line with these categories. Nominations can be submitted via the website (www.arabhealthonline.com) and will close on 1 November 2011. The 2012 Arab Health Awards winners will be announced on the 24 January, 2012 at a gala awards dinner at the Intercontinental Hotel, Dubai Festival City, Dubai.

    The new Young Surgeon of the Year Award aims to recognise the accomplishments of young surgeons where all surgical residents, fellows, and surgeons up to the age of 40 are eligible to apply for the award. All applicants will be evaluated according to their academic achievements, social commitments, and educational activities. Shortlisted candidates will be required to participate in either an oral presentation or a surgical jeopardy during the Arab Health General Surgery Conference 2012 in Dubai.

    "Self esteem has always been a drive to greatness and success and, by believing in your abilities, anything is possible," says Dr. Ali Ghellai, Chairman, Dept. of Surgery at Tawam Hospital, and member of the judging panel for the Young Surgeon Award Category. "The new Young Surgeon Award aims to recognise the accomplishments of young surgeons and to increase their involvement in all specialties. This award encourages their 'esprit de corps', decreasing institutional and geographical barriers and opening up new horizons for our future generation of exceptional surgeons."

    The Cleveland Clinic Young Clinician of the Year Award will be presented to a physician (under the age of 40 years) who has made the greatest contribution to making a difference in the lives of their patients in the Middle East.

    "Cleveland Clinic is proud to have the opportunity to support the Arab Health Awards, and the first ever Cleveland Clinic Young Clinician of the Year Award," said Dr Bill Ruschhaupt, Chairman of Cleveland Clinic Global Health Center and chair of the Young Clinician Award judging panel."The early decisions that a physician makes will greatly impact how they deliver patient care, and this award applauds them for their commitment to continued growth."

    The Arab Health Innovation & Achievement Awards recognise the outstanding achievements of individuals, departments, teams or an organisation that have contributed to the growth and development of the Middle East Healthcare Industry. The Awards appreciate, celebrate and reward outstanding institutional and individual achievement in the Arab World.

    Established 36 years ago, the Arab Health Exhibition and Congress provides a platform for the world's leading manufacturers, wholesalers and distributors to meet the medical and scientific community in the Middle East and beyond.
