 The ABHI Export Club, first and foremost,
provides exporters with an opportunity to shares experiences,
non-competitive information and network in a friendly, informal
setting. The meetings also provide an opportunity to find out more
about ABHI's international activities. The next Export Club will
focus on Japan, and company case studies will

3. CMEF '08 - 18-21 April
2008
China no longer seems like a difficult
market, in a land far, far away which requires patience and deep
pockets to succeed in. CMEF is a show where one gets a sense that
China means business and is changing so fast that old attitudes
need to be thrown away and thrown away quickly!

UK pavilion at the Spring CMEF next year. 12,243 medical device

6. Focus on Singapore
Singapore’s medical standards are among the highest in Asia, and
it is widely acknowledged as a regional centre for medical
excellence. Healthcare is offered by both the public and private
sectors, with the public sector providing 80% of tertiary care and
20% of primary care, with the private sector accounting for the
rest. ...
See: Singapore Healthcare Market Report.
An 8-member healthcare mission from Singapore will be visiting
the UK from 8 – 12 October. They are keen to identify UK products
for exclusive representation in Singapore and the region, with
several having well established links in neighbouring markets. UK
companies interested in exploring long term collaboration in this
promising market are invited to meet the mission at ABHI on Monday,
8 October.
