The event is expected to reflect on the pressures Covid-19 placed on the world's healthcare system and how this will play out as the pandemic rumbles on in many parts of the world.
"With the guidance of our wise leadership, we were able to successfully respond to the Covid-19 pandemic and achieve remarkable milestones in the past two years," said Abdulla Al Hamed, chairman of the DOH.
"The capital topped global rankings in its response to the pandemic and continued to reinforce its position as an incubator for innovation in the healthcare sector, both regionally and internationally.
"The emirate is committed to deliver high-quality services, treatments, healthcare technologies and innovations ... and to share the city’s leading experience with our partners from around the world," said Mr Al Hamed.
The summit, meanwhile, is also expected to also touch on the role of scientific research, innovation and digital transformation in improving the quality of health care.

What is type-1 diabetes
Type 1 diabetes is a genetic and unavoidable condition, rather than the lifestyle-related type 2 diabetes.
It occurs mostly in people under 40 and a result of the pancreas failing to produce enough insulin to regulate blood sugars.
Too much or too little blood sugar can result in an attack where sufferers lose consciousness in serious cases.
Being overweight or obese increases the chances of developing the more common type 2 diabetes.
