8th International Medical Products, Laboratory &
Hospital Equipment Exhibition – MEDIST 2010, is
ready to set its new records between dates, 02 - 05
December 2010 at CNR EXPO.
The highly attended
healthcare event at the intersection points of
global trading in Istanbul, MEDIST, has been marked
as the premier meeting platform for medical device
manufacturers/exporters, service providers, head
doctors, academicians, directors of healthcare
centers, distributors and importers/purchasing
authorities from public and private hospitals.
Through the Special Buyer Mission Programs and
the B2B meetings organized in parallel with the
fair, MEDIST allows the exhibitors to interact with
prominent healthcare experts and offers the visitors
to observe the industry on a wide scale with diverse
products groups on display from medical imaging
devices and laboratory diagnostics to wound care
equipment, hospital furniture and also to services
like facility management and IT.
Featuring
more than 500 exhibitors from 37 countries directly
and indirectly in 2009, MEDIST proved again to be a
must-attend event to network with professional
buyers and the trade organizations. In light of the
enormous production capacity of the Turkish medical
device and supplies industry, which comply with
international procedures, quality and safety
standards such as the GMP (Good Manufacturing
Practices), GHP (Good Health Practices), ISO
Standards and CE Marking of the EU, the launching of
new renovation projects in public and private
hospitals as well as medical companies, and thus,
the increasing interest in MEDIST shown by the
decision making authorities and foreign investors
and importers, it can be said that Turkey has become
an international destination. MEDIST surpassed the
expectations from a long-needed meeting platform in
the region.
