Finland ranks among the three strongest health technology economies in the world and will feature over 30 Finnish companies at the Arab Health this year from January 29th to February 1st 2018. 

This year, the focus has been on highlighting the latest in Finnish healthcare services and technologies, which aims to support the UAE market with its goal to become a medical hub in the region.  

Here are some innovative products being highlighted at Arab Health 2018: 

Beibamboo 
Beibamboo is a clothing line for premature babies which was launched by Nina Ignatius in 2007 when she faced difficulties with her premature newborn. Since a baby’s most developed sense, second only to smell is touch, the skin is sensitive and will easily feel if a seam is irritating or a label is scratching. The collection is made up of a small, but beautiful range of key essential items that meet the daily requirements of newborns to 2.5-year-olds. The design also took into consideration the unique requirements of premature clothing, as tubes and wires as they can hamper dressing. 

They use a hidden seam covered with their trademark BEIBAMBOO® logo ribbon. They use only ÖkoTex 100- certified materials, which guarantee the absence of any toxins. The bamboo viscose is from regulated farms in China, and the organic cotton are from suppliers in India. Beibamboo offers a timeless, season less and gender-neutral collection of baby essentials. Their collections have a long usage life and are ideal for growing babies; in fact, is currently being used in neonatal wards in major Finnish hospitals. 

Finnish Baby Box 
For the last 75 years, Finnish mothers have been given a box by the Finnish state; a starter kit with necessities ranging from clothes to toys to help care for their newborn. Today, Finland boasts the lowest infant mortality rate in the world, in part due to the maternity kit. When BBC News Magazine wrote about the Finnish baby box in June 2013, people from all over the world expressed interest in buying a Finnish maternity box. In addition to a memorable experience you’ll receive a selection of great quality products for your baby, handpicked by an experienced team. Inside a Finnish baby box, one can expect sleeping products through the baby and toddler years, bath and hygiene products to take care of the baby, outdoor clothes sized for the first winter to keep the baby warm, indoor clothes in four sizes to look cute throughout the first year, and also a bed box to ensure a safe sleeping place for the baby.
