Chennai: Medexpert Business Consultants Pvt Ltd, in association with Joint Managing Director of Kauvery Hospital, Dr Manivannan S, launched the 23rd edition of medical equipment trade fair, ‘Medicall’, scheduled till 28 July at the Chennai Trade Center. The expo was inaugurated by Consul General at the German Consulate Karin Stoll.
Medicall is an international show with exclusive hall for international companies from Germany, Japan, China, Taiwan, Malaysia, South Korea, Portugal, Italy, UK, and USA. More than 6,000 products from 20-plus countries are on display.
The trade fair focuses on all the needs of a hospital from surgical cotton to the latest imaging equipment and surgical tools. Around 18,000 medical professionals are expected to visit the expo.
While talking about the motivation behind starting this expo, Dr Manivannan said, “Small- and medium-sized hospital owners from tier-II and III cities cannot afford to have qualified purchase managers. Equipment companies also do not have adequate sale force to meet all these hospital owners. Since I have undergone the difficulty for my hospital, I thought Medicall will bring in all equipment manufacturers under one roof.”
