³Medical Fair India is a one of a kind medical and healthcare event offering an ideal international platform for the medical and healthcare industry. It is on its way to becoming the most successful and exceptional exhibition to showcase medical technologies,² stated Rajiv Nath, Chairman of AIMED, the Association of Indian Medical Device Industry.
This year the trade fair introduced the new segment ³Hospital Infrastructure² and started with an accompanying technical conference onthe topics ³Hospital Infrastructure & Planning² and ³Medical Device & Technology². Consisting of high-caliber lectures and panel discussions, the conference agenda offered decision-makers from clinics, medical professionals, retailers and industry and healthcare agents an ideal platform to learn about trends and network with experts. In addition to the conferences, independent workshops allowed the exhibitors to present themselves to the visitors.
MEDICAL FAIR INDIA 2015 benefited from the booming Indian health market which experts expect to grow to US$ 280 billion by 2020. Especially in the innovation-driven and export-oriented field of medical device technology, India is developing into a key position for which the Government already drafted a new bill on standards in medical device technology.

Really, this medical trade fair was an international meeting place, which has opened up new opportunities in the healthcare industry.
