More than 400 domestic and foreign exhibitors will participate in the 19th Vietnam International Medical, Hospital and Pharmaceutical Exhibition (Vietnam Medi Pharm Expo 2019), slated to be held at the Sai Gon Exhibition and Conference Centre in HCM City from August 1 to 3.

The event will include international firms from Germany, the EU, South Korea, Japan, Australia, India, Malaysia, Singapore and Hong Kong. They will showcase pharmaceutical products and medical equipment at 400 booths, the event’s organiser – the Viet Nam National Trade Fair and Advertising Co (Vinexad) – said in a statement.

“The exhibition is a platform for international companies to access private and pubic hospitals and local pharmacy companies in Viet Nam and then share their advanced medical technologies and equipment,” the statement said.

A conference discussing the local medical market and related polices will be held on the sidelines of the event. A fact-finding tour to Cho Ray Hospital will provide foreign businesses with a realistic look into local medical treatment.

Qua That Chuan, general director of Nguyen Quoc Medical Corp, which has attended to the fair for many years, said the annual event offered his company an opportunity to broaden its brand, meet customers and establish new partnerships.

The event is expected to attract 15,000 visitors. — VNS
