Investing in Healthcare

- tremendous interests from national groups

HOSPIMedica THAILAND is all set to make its debut in Bangkok, Thailand. The exhibition will be devoted to bringing the latest medical and healthcare products and services to the doorsteps of Thailand and the neighbouring Indochina markets for Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. The exhibition has received tremendous interests from several groups from China, India, USA and the Indochina region who have confirmed their participation. In addition, the following national pavilions will also be making their presence felt:

• State of Bavaria, Germany
• State of North-Rhine Westphalia, Germany
• Austrian Chamber of Commerce, Austria
• Taiwan Medical Industry Association, Taiwan
• Thai Medical Device Suppliers’ Association, Thailand

National pavilions from other countries such as Belgium, Finland and Korea are also expected to confirm their participation soon.

The organizer will be working closely with all the national pavilions and groups to identify each country’s target groups. Once established, the organizer will work closely with the relevant associations and hospitals in Thailand and Indochina to arrange business-matching sessions for the targeted visitors/buyers to meet with the exhibitors.

The organizer has also teamed up with PowerMingle to set up a MingleZone where visitors are automatically matched with exhibitors that are relevant to them and vice-versa. More details can be found at www.hospimedica-thailand.com

The healthcare industry in Thailand has seen major transformations taking place. The health status of the Thai people have improved considerably and rapidly over the past 3 decades. There has been a considerable growth of interest in the activities of providers in the public and private healthcare sectors to further improve the quality of healthcare, rising the standards of medical facilities and marketing of health services effectively. Thailand is working towards achieving the goals outlined in the UN’s Millennium Development Goals established at the United Nations Millennium Summit in September 2000. Three of these goals call for specific improvements in health such as reduction in child mortality, maternal deaths and combating the spread of HIV/AIDS, malaria and TB. In addition, there is also a need to have access to affordable essential drugs.

With the proactive approach of both the public and private healthcare sectors in favour of investing in health, HOSPIMedica THAILAND will bring international manufacturers and suppliers of medical, healthcare and rehabilitative services closer to Thailand and neighbouring Indochina to meet the growing demands for the latest medical products and technology.
