 POSITIVE RESULTS AT MEDICAL FAIR THAILAND 2009

MEDICAL FAIR THAILAND 2009, International Exhibition on Hospital, Diagnostic, Pharmaceutical, Medical & Rehabilitation Equipment & Supplies, recently closed in Bangkok to positive results: 258 exhibitors from 30 countries showcased a wide range of innovative products and services for the medical and health care sectors to 3,600 visitors from 54 nations. The event featured country group exhibits from Austria, Belgium, China, Germany, Great Britain, Korea, Singapore and Taiwan.

“About 90% of the exhibiting companies came from overseas and this underscores the confidence of both the international and regional communities in the Southeast Asian health care market," commented Gernot Ringling, Managing Director of the show organizer Messe Düsseldorf Asia. “MEDICAL FAIR THAILAND will continue to be committed to the optimistic development of the health care industry and will provide the best platform for the latest in medical care solutions, technologies and equipment.”

Held biennially in Bangkok, MEDICAL FAIR THAILAND has developed into the key industry event for the medical and health care sector in Southeast Asia since its launch in 2003. With its comprehensive product range and expertise, it is the most important meeting point for manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, decision makers and procurers as well as practitioners, relevant health care authorities and experts from the region. Further endorsement of MEDICAL FAIR THAILAND is evident by the strong support from Thailand’s Ministry of Public Health and leading health care associations such as the Private Hospital Association, the Thai Rehabilitation Medicine Association, the Thai Medical Device Technology Industry Association, Government Pharmaceutical Organization and the Nurses’ Association of Thailand as well as the Pharmaceutical Association of Thailand Under Royal Patronage and the Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau.

MEDICAL FAIR THAILAND will be held again in Bangkok in autumn 2011.
