  • 【Abstract】: (Market Data) Q1 2026 data from leading medical travel agencies reveals that the UAE has officially surpassed the United States in new IVF inquiries from Chinese High-Net-Worth Individuals (HNWIs). Driven by the new "10-Year Medical Golden Visa," zero-tax structures, and world-class JCI-accredited facilities, the GCC region offers equivalent tech with enhanced privacy and luxury.

  • Business Insight: The geopolitical and economic shift is reshaping medical tourism routes. The UAE is successfully positioning itself as the ultimate "Luxury Health Hub." Cross-border agencies exhibiting at CMTF must rapidly diversify their portfolios to include Middle Eastern clinics, bundling genetic screening and IVF with high-end hospitality and wealth management consultations.
